According to reports carried out by the Metro, Barcelona are looking to replace Neymar by signing Tottenham Hotspur star Dele Alli.
Barcelona were handed a huge shock following the departure of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain but with the start of the La Liga campaign approaching very quickly, the Catalan giants cannot afford to dwell on the loss of the Brazilian star for too long.
The Spanish giants did receive a whopping £200million transfer fee from the sale of Neymar and manager Ernesto Valverde now has to look at options to fill in the void left by the 25-year-old superstar at the Camp Nou.
The likes of Philippe Coutinho, Ousmane Dembele and Eden Hazard have been mentioned as potential targets for Barcelona but now in surprise reports from the Metro, claims are being made that they are currently considering a move for Tottenham star Dele Alli.
Alli has emerged as one of the finest young players in the world due to his performances for Tottenham over the past two seasons and it is now believed that the 21-year-old could be earning a dream move to Barcelona this summer.

The fact is even that would not open any door. Levy is no fool, whilst we were a club of mediocrity that keeping s star in an average team would see the star wanting out.. this gave Levy xn unfsir reputation of being a seller. Not true. He would have kept, them. But those squads were not focused and zlrvy himself concentrated more on our future. Now it’s arriving, the whole structure and ethos is completely different. You see losing a mega player in the last hardly made a difference to our ability. But now we are hungry for the top and losing s vital player which all our 1st 11 now are would be dangerous and far more costly than just money. You see the sum of the parts is fsr less than the whole. The players are a true team, the manager is a proper figure of respect, and Levy is creating s first class sporting set up which would send poor signals out, including to Poch. And for note Poch has the final say now that’s the agreement and no way would he sanction that. Clubs need to wake up and realise Spurs are not breaking up a vision about to deliver.

When the window is over, I hope the Lrvy haters eat humble pie and realise by keeping s team worth £800m plus he has been the biggest investor. It’s an opportunity cost and he didn’t want the money

The same shit coming out of the well know Barcelona arse licking news outlet Don Balon and as usual, picked up by the cowboys over here. Last summer it was Alli to Barcelona and His mate Dier said that the only way Alli would go to Barcelona was on holiday. A few months ago the same greasy newspaper wrote that their hero Lionel Messi had given the board instructions to go get Pochettino and that paper insisted that Pochettino was going to be the new boss at Barcelona and he was in the city to finalise contract details, had a photograph of him and the president of that club at a popular restaurant. Never mind his connection with cross city rivals Espanol. We all knew where that story ended up. Apparently the real president of Barcelona is Lionel Messi and he has spoken again, this time he wants Dele Alli as his new playmate. You’ve just got to laugh really. The urchins masquerading as journalists ITK are basically story tellers better suited to writing for comic books. These people are generally employed by the low class press and over here it’s the Daily Star, Express, Sun, Mirror, Standard and Metro. The provincial papers aren’t exempt either. Unfortunately, they will continue to peddle their nonsense about Spurs and our players until the club finally comes out of its self induced coma and move up a gear by winning a major trophy with the current crop of players. Most players will move to other clubs at some point in their careers but at this moment in time, the low class press home and abroad are clutching at straws especially those with allegiance to other clubs and are anti Spurs.
