Antonio Conte will want to strengthen his Tottenham Hotspur squad in the coming windows.
Despite talk of improving players currently at the Premier League club, the Italian manager has a long and strong record of demanding his clubs back him, and there’s no obvious reason why he’d give that up for Spurs.
The London side have been linked with multiple options in recent months, and it’s thought there’ll be money to spend, especially when the summer market comes.
That’s when Tottenham could present a problem for Barcelona, report Catalan newspaper Sport.
According to the claims, Tottenham ‘have already contacted’ the Premier League player’s representatives, and ‘very high figures’ could arrive from Spurs.
Whether that would be enough of a temptation, given the Catalan media are convinced Barcelona is very much the preferred option, remains to be seen.
