According to reports, FC Barcelona could pounce for the midfielder Sidnei Tavares del Leicester City.
The Catalan club is, according to The Sun, among several European giants guarding the Portuguese teenager, who is out of contract at King Power Stadium at the end of the current Premier League season.
Juventus of Turin, Bayern Munich, FC Porto and Celtic of Glasgow are also said to be controlling their situation.
Sidnei Tavares has already caught the attention of Leicester City coach Brendan Rodgers, particularly during his appearance in pre-season friendlies before the start of this campaign.
After 45 minutes alongside Nampalys Mendy and Youri Tielemans against Birmingham City in the summer, Brendan Rodgers said he had a plan for the 19-year-old, with a focus on developing his game despite not having quality minutes from the Leicester team.
“Now we have to take him to a level where he is an active talent, so he has that hunger when he doesn’t have the ball,” said the coach of one of the best teams in the Premier League.
A new market opportunity for Barcelona
Under-19 international with Portugal, Tavares has been in the Leicester City academy for a decade. However, he has only played four times for the U-23s in this span, scoring once, doubling a free throw in a 3-1 win over Grimsby in the EFL Trophy.
FC Barcelona continues to look for young talents with the intention of strengthening its quarry and having, in the long term, a proven squad to compete at the highest level for the next decade.
The problem is that he has many inconveniences in his first squad to continue strengthening the subsidiary but, at this moment, it is necessary to work in the best way in the scout work to be able to incorporate young talents before they explode and their price is much higher.
