The Sunday Express has revealed that Tottenham risk losing star midfielder Dele Alli to Barcelona, with the Catalans now having enough in their coffers to make a swoop following Neymar’s sale.
The Camp Nou outfit have routinely been linked with the 20-year-old England international in the past 1 year, and will now attempt to make a bid both player and club would find irresistible.
While Spurs won’t likely agree to sell except for an outrageous fee, that Alli can have his current wages doubled or tripled by Barca could turn his head.
Indeed, he has established himself as a midfield force under manager Mauricio Pochettino, but Barcelona are a way bigger club, and with a starting spot almost likely to be offered, saying no won’t be easy.
Tottenham are proving they are no longer a selling club, but with only 2 players earning more than £100,000 per week, they still risk losing their stars to club with more than enough cash to splash on wages.
The north London club lost Kyle Walker to Manchester City early in the window, and while Pochettino considered him an expendable asset, keeping on to Alli will be a herculean task if Barcelona go all out for their man.
