OPINION
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona want to sign themselves an impact substitute like Tottenham striker Fernando Llorente in the summer and of course, that has led to many Spurs fans on Twitter joking that Barca can have the Spanish target man in return for Lionel Messi. Llorente’s contract is set to expire in the summer so there is a good chance that he will be leaving North London and could return to Spain, where there are no doubt going to be clubs looking at him. Although Barcelona reportedly want a player like Llorente, after being impressed by his impact off the bench in the Champions League, the chances of them actually going for the veteran target man are bound to be low. Spurs’ chances of landing Messi are obviously lower though but who knows, win the Champions League and maybe Mauricio Pochettino could attract some of the best players in world football. Not Messi though, he’s going nowhere.
