Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in La Liga on Thursday, January 21.

Thursday morning's La Liga transfer talk news roundup:

Manchester United 'beat Barcelona, Manchester City to Gabriel Veron'

Manchester United have reportedly stolen a match on Barcelona and Manchester City in the race to sign Palmeiras forward Gabriel Veron.

The 18-year-old has earned links with a move to a host of European heavyweights after scoring eight goals and setting up three more in 33 games for the Brazilian club.

Palmeiras are thought to be prepared to cash in on the Brazil Under-17s international this month if a €20m (£17.63m) offer is tabled.

Spanish outlet Sport suggests that United are now the favourites to complete a move for Veron, having worked hard behind the scenes to ensure that he chooses them over Barca and bitter rivals City.

United, who beat Fulham 2-1 on Wednesday night to move back into top spot in the Premier League, are also said to be targeting a loan move for Inter Milan playmaker Christian Eriksen.

Inter Milan want Lucas Torreira, Christian Eriksen swap deal with Arsenal?

Inter Milan could reportedly attempt to strike a swap deal involving Christian Eriksen and Lucas Torreira with Arsenal.

Eriksen's ill-fated stint at San Siro could come to an end within the next couple of weeks after Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta confirmed that he was free to leave this month.

Meanwhile, Torreira headed to Atletico Madrid on loan in the summer after struggling for game time under Mikel Arteta, but the Uruguay international is enduring a similar fate in the Spanish capital with only 13 appearances in all competitions this season.

According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, Inter are now looking at a swap deal involving the two midfielders as an ideal solution for both parties.

Arsenal are known to be in the market for a new creative midfielder despite the form of Emile Smith Rowe, and Inter are supposedly looking to bolster their engine room with Matias Vecino's future in doubt.

Eriksen has only started four top-flight matches under Antonio Conte this term, while Torreira has featured from the first whistle on two occasions in La Liga with Atletico.
