Barcelona are keen to sign Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele in the January transfer window, according to reports in Spain.
New Tottenham manager Antonio Conte is said to be close to agreeing an £8.5million-per-year deal with AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie on a free transfer.
According to Sport, a combination of the Spurs interest in Kessie, a similar player, and Ndombele's unhappiness at the north London club could pave the way for Ndombele to move to the Spanish giants.
Barcelona, who have sold a host players in a bid to ease their financial crisis, look short on squad numbers and currently lie ninth in LaLiga, closer to the relegation zone than leaders Real Sociedad.
