Barcelona are in advanced talks to sign young winger Ajay Tavares, born in 2009 and currently part of Norwich's academy.
Details: According to insider Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona are nearing a deal and are confident negotiations will be successfully concluded in the coming days.
German clubs tried to enter the race for the 16-year-old prodigy, but Barcelona remain in pole position and are set to secure his signature. According to insiders, Tavares himself is keen on a move to the Catalan giants.
An official announcement is expected once all formalities are finalized.
