Tottenham Hotspur star reportedly wishes to play for Barcelona

Alli

According to reports, Tottenham star Dele Alli wishes to play for Barcelona. Alli has established himself as one of the best young footballers in world football having won the PFA Young Player of the year award for the past two consecutive seasons.

The youngster’s performances is said to have attracted interest from the likes of Manchester City, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea.

Now it has been claimed that Alli is said to have been hoping that the Catalan giants would consider buying him after selling Neymar to PSG. However, Barcelona instead opted to turn their interest to signing Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool.

Considering that Alli is a big part of the Spurs team, Mauricio Pochettino will be very hesitant to part ways with him.

Unless the North London club manage to win major silverware soon though, it will be very difficult to see Alli remaining with the club for the long-term. He will get significantly more money if he moves to an elite club such as Madrid or Barcelona.
