Mundo Deportivo via Football London is reporting that Tottenham is interested in signing Barcelona midfielder, Ivan Rakitic, but won’t pay Barcelona’s asking price.
Barcelona is looking to offload some of their players in this transfer window and Rakitic is one player that has been told that he can leave.
The report claims that the Croatian has attracted the attention of Jose Mourinho as he rebuilds his Tottenham side.
Mundo Deportivo further adds that the midfielder also wants to move to north London, but Spurs are reluctant to pay a transfer fee for him.
The Lilywhites are competing with Sevilla for his signature, however, both teams don’t want to pay the £8.8m asking price that Barcelona has set for him.
Tottenham needs to bolster its team this summer as they eye a trophy in the coming campaign.
Mourinho always wins a trophy in his second season at a new club and Spurs fans will be hoping that they can end their trophy drought under the Portuguese.
Rakitic has been a part of the Barcelona side that has won numerous trophies and his addition to the Lilywhites will help them get a winning mindset in their dressing room.
The 32-year-old will also be a high earner and it remains unclear if Spurs will be able to pay him what he currently earns at Barcelona.
You’ve been around this site long enough to know that’s not true mate. Gooners? Take your medicine and sit down… Apart from Costa all those other players would improve us… And there is high hopes for Sessy, clearly this season he will be getting game time or else he would have gone out on loan..
Its not trashing it an opinion just like your trashing theirs now .
Our transfer budget is limited it would be refreshing on the odd occasion to buy a player who is premiership made and ready is there anything wrong with that?
The jury is out on Seggy but i hope he makes it like anyone who signs, as to that list of players above i would take them all just for their winning mentality ,leadership skills and confidence they would take to the squad .
This website must be a gooner plant. Always advocating that Spurs take on aging, overpaid cast-offs who are over-the-hill – e.g. Bale, Rakitic, Suarez, Costa- Bloody nonsense! At the same time they trash young players with potential – like Sessegnon et al.
