Everton and Stoke City hold advantage over Tottenham in transfer chase

 

Catalan newspaper Sport really seem to be pushing a potential move for Munir on Monday.

The Barcelona youngster is thought to be a possible exit because, whilst he’s been getting games in pre-season, and played for 20 minutes in Barcelona’s 6-2 destruction of Real Betis, when Neymar returns from Brazil he’ll be sidelined.

Then there’s the issue of Barcelona looking for a flexible attacker to back-up their exquisite trident of Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar, and once that player comes in then Munir is further pushed out of the picture.

Sport have published a big story linking Tottenham, but the London club’s reluctance to insert a buyback clause in any deal would be a problem.

Everton are said to be interested along with Stoke City, and the buyback situation is apparently easier on those fronts.

Sport reckon Barcelona would want around €15m for Munir which, if the interest is genuine, probably wouldn’t be enough to put off any Premier League club.

Surely before any exit of Munir is agreed, Barcelona will want to make sure they’ve brought their extra attacker in.
