With Sergio Busquets out for the next few games, including the Europa League clash against Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United, Franck Kessie is going to step in.
That’s what Sport say, as they point out the Ivorian will be given a chance, which could be a good opportunity for clubs like Tottenham to keep an eye on him.
Spurs were reportedly interested in the January transfer market, with Antonio Conte wanting to bolster his squad further, but nothing came of it.
The outlet recall that on Friday, making it clear that while the next three games ‘will not determine if he will continue at Barcelona next season’, but they will be a good test to see how he fares.
They state that his situation ‘was probed’ in January, with Milan and Tottenham ‘as the most interested clubs’, but he never really had the idea of leaving in his head.
Furthermore, neither Xavi nor anyone else ‘asked him to’.
That being said, ‘he is one of the names that are on the exit ramp’ in the summer, as Barcelona will need to sell, and this could open the door for Tottenham.
Having arrived from Milan on a free, any sale of his would be pure transfer profit for the La Liga side, and that’s exactly what they need.
As for Tottenham, they will have more money than in the last transfer window, and that could be the opportunity they have been waiting for.
