Transfer Rumour: Barcelona chasing Norwich and England wonderkid Ajay Tavares

Published on Dec 19, 2025

Barcelona are set to seal a sensational deal to sign 15-year-old Norwich star Ajay Tavares according to report in the Sun newspaper this morning

The highly-rated forward has been chased by some of Europe‘s top clubs ahead of January – but the Spanish giants are expected to win the race.

Tavares, who made his senior Canaries debut in a July pre-season friendly against Dutch outfit Volendam, was wanted by Bundesliga giants RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund.

But he is heading for the Nou Camp, where the plan is for him to play for their Under-19s before moving up to Barcelona B ahead of a future loan move.

Tavares, who has a Portuguese passport which allows him to move abroad, has been capped four times for England Under-17s.

And he recently scored a 16 minute hat-trick for a young Canaries side in a 6-0 win over Malaga’s academy.

Tavares would have become Norwich’s youngest player had he featured at any time this season, but is yet to be involved with the first-team in a competitive game.
