da casino: Barcelona have entered the running for Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld amidst continued uncertainty surrounding his future, according to The Mirror.
What’s the word?
Major changes are set to take place at Tottenham over the course of the next 12 months, as Mauricio Pochettino’s side prepare to move to a new stadium and are expected to see wholesale departures from their squad.
Amongst those in-line for an exit is defender Toby Alderweireld, who has entered the final months of his deal and, should Spurs choose to activate an extension, will see a release clause set at just £25m become available for the Belgium international.
Spurs could, therefore, choose to cash-in on Alderweireld in January and The Mirror states Barcelona have joined the hunt for the 29-year-old.
Should Spurs sell?
With no sign of a progression on a new contract that would eliminate the minimal release clause that is set to become active next summer, Tottenham have been backed into a corner and now have three options ahead of them.

The first is to sell in January, where a fee of over £25m could probably be earned, while the second option for a sale is at the end of the season when that clause would become active. The final option and the least likely would be choosing not to activate an extension and allowing Alderweireld to leave for free next summer.
Selling in January is certainly the best option for Spurs and the interest from Barcelona should be capitalised on as it would eliminate the possibility of seeing Alderweireld move to join a Premier League rival, which could come back to haunt the club in the future.
