Report shares why Barcelona turned down chance to sign Spurs star this summer - originally posted on Sportslens.com
According to Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona had the opportunity to sign Tottenham Hotspur winger Lucas Moura during the summer transfer window but they turned down the chance. Spurs wanted a fee in excess of £45 million before ever considering selling the Brazilian, and the price tag put the Catalans off. Moura’s international teammate Neymar was top of Barcelona’s wish list this summer, but a return to the Camp Nou fell through for the Paris Saint-Germain star. The Tottenham forward was earmarked as an alternative as the La Liga giants were keen to boost their attack.
Moura’s Champions League exploits for Mauricio Pochettino’s side last term surely caught the eyes, but they weren’t willing to pay that much for a player that cost Spurs £25 million in January 2018.
