Barcelona planning shock transfer for £13.2m Tottenham defender
Barcelona are planning a surprising move for Tottenham defender Juan Foyth, according to reports.
It is clear that Foyth does not form part of Jose Mourinho’s plans at Spurs having not kicked a ball for the club in 2020, while he has not been in a single Premier League or Champions League squad since being hauled off at half-time of the 2-2 draw with Norwich in December.
A report in Calciomercato (via Sport Witness) on Tuesday claimed that Argentine defender was heading for a north London exit with the 22-year-old looking for more minutes.

Atalanta, Fiorentina and AC Milan are all thought to be interested in taking Foyth to Italy with Tottenham wanting between €12m (£10.6m) and €15m (£13.2m) to allow him to leave.
Foyth would be an attractive prospect for clubs despite his lack of playing time ‘both for his price as for his potential’.
And now the Daily Mirror claims that La Liga giants Barcelona ‘are keen on’ Foyth and it’s understood that he has ‘been offered to clubs’.
Samuel Umtiti or Jean-Clair Todibo could be on the way out of the Camp Nou this summer and ‘Foyth is being seen as a relatively cheap replacement’.
