Pablo Barrios has been linked with a move from Atletico Madrid, with Tottenham keen to sign him.
According to Fiharges, they offered the 22-year-old midfielder €70 million, but his contract includes a release clause of €120 million. It is highly unlikely that any club would agree to pay this much for this young midfielder.
Atletico Madrid will need to make reasonable demands to make the move happen. Liverpool are also monitoring Barrios, with recent reports suggesting he could face competition from Chelsea.
Spurs need a player like Pablo Barrios
Tottenham need more control, composure and defensive cover in the center of the park. The midfielder could be an ideal signing for Atletico Madrid. He is still young enough to develop and is already well established at the highest level. He has the technical characteristics of the Premier League and could be an important player for him. They need a player who can control the tempo of the game from deep and the 22-year-old looks like an ideal signing.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Tottenham need to keep improving their squad if they want to compete with elite clubs. They will be hoping to finish in the top four and do well in the cup competitions. More quality in the middle of the park will definitely help them finish the season strong.
Can the Spurs sign Barrios?
It remains to be seen whether they will be able to convince the midfielder to join the club. He is enjoying his football with Atlético Madrid and is an important player for them. A move to Tottenham may not be a priority for him at the moment. The team needs to convince the player of their project and offer a lucrative contract to lure him.
