The Norwich City player is set to make the move to the Spanish giants as they look to build their squad this month.

Norwich City are one of the outfits that are aiming to build good form and climb up the Championship table in the final months of the season.
The Canaries, who climbed out of the relegation zone following their 5-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion, will now look to build the gap between themselves and the relegation zone in the coming weeks.
One way to achieve this could be through recruiting players in the January transfer window. So far this month, Norwich have signed Ali Ahmed in a permanent deal until 2029 from Vancouver.
However, now it appears that the outfit are going to lose one of their players.
It is understood that highly-rated Norwich City youngster Ajay Tavares is close to sealing a sensational move to FC Barcelona.
This is according to Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari, who says that Barcelona are “close to sealing the deal for Tavares with Norwich”.
The 2009-born winger is very highly rated internally, and he has been in and around the first team squad this season. It will be seen as a big blow for the Canaries’ academy, which has been very productive in recent years.
It seemed to be a case of when, not if, he would feature in first-team matches, having featured in pre-season under ex-manager Liam Manning, who has recently become the new boss at Huddersfield Town, in an exclusive first called by us at The Lower Tiers.
With this news now revealed, Norwich fans could look towards Spain to see when an official announcement is made about the winger’s move to Barcelona.
Meanwhile, supporters may also look to see how this could affect the club long-term.
As well as this, from a Barcelona angle, fans could look to see how the signing of Ajay Tavares can positively impact the LaLiga champions.
