BARCELONA are ready to save Tanguy Ndombele from his Tottenham nightmare and offer Philippe Coutinho as part of the deal, according to reports.
The French midfielder is set to leave North London following a reported row with Jose Mourinho over playing time.
Tanguy Ndombele wants to leave Spurs this summer
Spurs splashed out a club-record £65million for Ndombele last summer but he has been limited to just 12 league starts.
Barcelona are in the market for a new central midfielder but remain cash-strapped following the coronavirus pandemic.
Therefore they are only willing to land the star in a player-exchange deal as they plot to offload a number of their key players.
According to the Independent, two players they are willing to send to Spurs include Coutinho and Nelson Semedo.
Coutinho has spent the campaign on loan with Bayern Munich but the German champions have decided not to land him permanently.
Semedo, a right-back, is another player deemed surplus to requirements at the Nou Camp and could be seen as an upgrade of defender Serge Aurier.
Philippe Coutinho is braced to leave Barca this summer
But Coutinho, who wants a move back to the Premier League, remains the most likely player to team up with Jose Mourinho.
One obstacle remains his £250,000-a-week wages and he’ll almost certainly have to take a cut to move to Spurs.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been linked with the Brazilian.
