It’s ‘complicated’ – Catalan slant on defender transfer pleasing for Tottenham

Toby Alderweireld’s situation at Tottenham Hotspur is very fairly under question.

The Belgian defender and his club are at odds over a new contract and the longer the situation drags out the likelier a move looks in the summer transfer window.

Alderweireld has proven himself in both English and Spanish football, and that means there’d be a queue of clubs waiting for him if a move happens.

One of the sides linked to the Spurs defender has been Barcelona, but that’s been mainly by the English media.

Over in Catalonia, Alderweireld is hardly ever on the many Barca wanted lists printed in the club’s local media. There’s a string of defenders being linked right now, with worry over Samuel Umtiti’s future, but Alderweireld hasn’t been one of them.

To underline this, Mundo Deportivo have a little snippet on the Tottenham defender, and whilst they say his situation is ‘complicated’, they don’t mention Barca interest, not even in passing.

Links to the Catalan should therefore be one less Alderweireld worry for Tottenham fans.
