According to the Mirror, Tottenham are faced with a huge risk of losing Dele Alli as Barcelona have plans to come after the England international in case Neymar leaves for PSG.
The PFA young player of the year for the second time running is alongside Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho and Chelsea’s Eden Hazard as alternatives the La Liga giants are considering.
Alli recently extended his contract with Spurs, and has been rated the most valuable player under-21 years of age at £74million. These valuations have been made after some mind-blowing performances from the midfielder in just his 2 seasons in the EPL.
Liverpool and Chelsea have quickly made it known through their managers that their stars won’t be leaving for Barcelona no matter what, but the Tottenham camp have been quiet regarding Alli.
While this doesn’t signify Spurs would be willing to sell the 21-year-old attacking midfielder for huge profit, that he wouldn’t have his head turned if the Catalans should indeed make an official approach is not possible.
The lure of playing alongside Lionel Messi, against Cristiano Ronaldo, and very possibly in a handful of Champions League finals could prove just too much to resist.
