Barcelona Transfer News: 5 deals that the Blaugrana can complete in January

La Liga's reigning champions, Barcelona registered yet another victory as they defeated Eibar by three goals to nil with Lionel Messi scoring his 400th La Liga goal to clinch another achievement in his exceptional footballing career. Sunday's win has seen them sit atop the table with a 5-point lead over second-placed Atletico Madrid.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, the Catalans seem to be immensely active in the transfer window and are stealing the headlines on a regular basis. Ernesto Valverde's Barcelona has already sealed the signatures of Jeison Murillo from Valencia and Jean-Clair Todibo from Toulouse.

The Spanish club has been linked with a host of top talents for a potential move, while on the other hand, transfer speculation around their own players for potential departure is also mounting.

The January transfer window closes on January 31 and La Liga's table-toppers could be in for more transfer business in this winter period.

Here are the five Barcelona deals which may get materialized in the January transfer window:

#5 Denis Suarez (Departure, permanent basis)

Denis Suarez is seriously lacking game-time at Camp Nou from the very beginning of the 2018-19 season. With his current Barcelona contract set to expire at the end of the term, heavy transfer speculation has started to mount around the midfielder. Denis Suarez joined Barcelona back in 2016 and has made 46 appearances and scored just 3 goals.

Premier League heavyweights. Arsenal has emerged as favorites to land the Catalans' out of favor midfielder as Unai Emery looks to add some new faces to the squad to boost their top 4 hopes.

#4 Krzysztof Piatek (Arrival, permanent basis)

Krzysztof Piatek has emerged as one of the most promising strikers in the world after a series of thumping performances for the Italian outfit Genoa this season. The Polish forward has already scored 19 goals in all competitions so far this season and has alerted European elites about his immense attacking potential.

According to the reports, Barcelona is interested to seal the services of the wonderkid who has become one of the hottest properties in the transfer market.

#3 Malcolm (departure, loan basis)

Brazillian forward Malcolm made a high profile transfer to Barcelona last summer while refusing to join AS Roma in the 11th hour. However, he has found very few opportunities this season with just four La Liga appearances to his name so far.

No doubt, the 21-year-old has an immense skillset but since he has mostly been sidelined from the Barcelona squad this term, transfer speculation has already commenced touting a move away for the Brazillian.

A recent report emerged that Premier League side Tottenham are willing to sign the out-of-favor Barcelona forward in the January transfer window.

#2 Adrien Rabiot (Arrival, permanent basis)

The 23-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, Adrien Robot, has been a huge subject of interest in the transfer window as his current PSG contract expires at the end of the season. It was the year 2012 when Rabiot made his debut for the French outfit and till now, he has won four Ligue 1 titles and four French cups with the club.

When Thomas Tuchel was asked about midfielder's situation, he insisted,

"It is a complicated market situation, he is our player and everything can happen.

"It is a situation between the club and the player."

A recent report has emerged that Adrien Rabiot has agreed to terms with Barcelona to sign a new deal on a free transfer at the end of the season.

#1 Alvaro Morata (Arrival, loan basis)

Alvaro Morata has failed to deliver high-caliber performances for Chelsea this season and is undergoing a tough period despite the change in management.

Maurizio Sarri has preferred Hazard in the center forward position numerous times this season and with Morata's continual failure to deliver at Stamford Bridge, heavy transfer speculation is getting constructed around him.

Reports say that the Catalans are interested to sign Blues' forward Alvaro Morata and recently their manager, Ernesto Valverde hailed the Spanish forward as 'great player'.

“I can only say the same thing.

“That he's a great player, that he's at another team and that we respect that a lot.

“We have to look at it, it's clear that after Munir's departure we have space.

“We'll see if we can sign a player, although we have to take into account the club's economic conditions.

“We will see if we can if someone comes.”
