Barcelona Transfer News: Denis Suarez, Paulo Dybala, Latest Blaugrana Rumours

Barcelona are reportedly eyeing a move for Villarreal's Denis Suarez in the January transfer window following the Spaniard's excellent recent performances.

The left-winger has scored three times and provided three assists in La Liga this season, most recently netting a double in a 2-0 La Liga win over Real Sociedad, per WhoScored.com.

According to Ramiro Aldunate in Marca, Barca boss Luis Enrique is keen to add Suarez to his squad in the new year and discussions over a potential €4.5 million (£3.3 million) move from Villarreal are under way.

The report adds that Barca have a buy-back clause for their former player of €3.2 million (£2.4 million), but it is not believed to be "applicable at this stage of the season."

The former Manchester City man played for Barcelona B in the 2013-14 season and was then loaned out to Sevilla last term before making a permanent switch to Villarreal in August.

Suarez's performances so far this season have seemingly persuaded Enrique to try to bring him back to the Camp Nou, and he would most certainly represent excellent attacking cover in Catalonia, as he can also play through the middle.

However, his starting opportunities would undoubtedly be limited back at Barca, a factor that could adversely affect the 21-year-old's progress.

Suarez is not the only young attacker Barcelona are eyeing, as Juventus' Paulo Dybala, 22, has also been strongly linked with the La Liga giants recently, per Tuttosport (h/t Football Italia).

Per Bleacher Report's Sam Tighe, Dybala has already become part of the most effective strike duo in Europe—with Mario Mandzukic—having only joined the Old Lady in the summer:

It is no surprise then that Barca are interested in snapping up the Argentinian, but Carlo Ancelotti is also reportedly interested in pursuing Dybala when he succeeds Pep Guardiola as Bayern Munich manager in the summer, per Italian outlet Gazzetta World.

Robert Lewandowski reportedly could leave the Allianz Arena at the end of the season, and Dybala is seen as one of a number of candidates who could replace the Pole.

Barcelona look similarly set for a battle in their pursuit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The in-form Borussia Dortmund striker has recently been linked with the Catalan outfit amid talks of a £42 million valuation, per German newspaper Bild (h/t Uche Amako of the Express).

Now Premier League giants City have reportedly entered the race for 26-year-old Gabon international, although Leicester City's Jamie Vardy is the Sky Blues' No. 1 target, per Mike McGrath of the Sun.

Aubameyang has netted a staggering 18 goals in 17 Bundesliga appearances this season, per WhoScored.

Dortmund are unlikely to let him go for cheap, if at all, and Barcelona will likely have to see off the financial might of City should they wish to snap him up.
