Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes started only six La Liga games last season and his future now looks to be away from the Camp Nou.
The Portuguese international’s former club, Valencia, are interested in re-signing him this summer. However, they are not the only club looking at the option of securing the player’s signature, according to the Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo.
Barcelona have received more than one firm offers for Gomes, meaning he is likely to leave the La Liga winners this summer. Tottenham Hotspur get yet other namecheck as an interested club.
Just when everything seemed perfect for Barcelona and Gomes, there is a stumbling block for Ernesto Valverde’s side.
None of the potential suitors are ready to pay the Blaugrana’s asking price for Gomes, with Barcelona demanding €35m.
Barcelona would be open to the idea of allowing their player go out on loan, provided the club taking him should pay his €4m-a-year wages.
Tottenham have been linked for well over a year now and it’s hard to tell whether it’s out of habit or real information. A loan move sounds a reasonable idea if Pochettino feels he can get Gomes back to his best.
