Some Tottenham Hotspur fans have flocked to a tweet that was recently posted by Spurs-focused Twitter account @thespursweb which shares some alleged transfer news regarding Tanguy Ndombele.
The tweet, which cites French publication L’Equipe as the original source of this transfer news, declares that Barcelona, who are said to be ‘long-term admirers’ of Ndombele, are in talks with Daniel Levy to sign the 23-year-old French midfielder on ‘a two-year loan deal with an option to buy, which becomes mandatory under certain circumstances’.
Earlier this week, Ndombele is said to have told Spurs manager Jose Mourinho ‘that he no longer wants to work with him’, as reported by French outlet TF1, via Get French Football News, and now, as per L’Equipe (via GFFN), the 23-year-old is said to be in talks over a move to Catalonia.
After this news about Ndombele was shared on Twitter via @thespursweb, some Tottenham supporters took the opportunity to reply to this post to share their thoughts on this news.
? L'Equipe: Barcelona are long term admirers of Tanguy Ndombele. In the past two weeks, talks have intensified with Daniel Levy.
Negotiations are fully underway. A two-year loan deal with an option to buy, which becomes mandatory under certain circumstances, is the model. pic.twitter.com/BFdcNS1Q0m

One Tottenham fan replied to this tweet to share that they would prefer to see Mourinho leave the club than Ndombele.
Do you think that Tanguy Ndombele will leave Spurs this summer?YES
NO

My disdain for Mourinho will be hard to hide if NDombele goes. I would rather see Jose leave & watch NDombele for 4 seasons.

Sheer stupidity from Levy

This if true is crazy! Why are we still selling our best players to rivals! We will never reach the highest if we are always reducing our squad! https://t.co/iNIaJoiHGj

However, some Spurs fans appeared to be open to the idea of Ndombele departing from the North London club, provided they could secure the services of Dutch Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong in return.
swap for de jong

Give us Frenkie De Jong in exchange

Considering that Ndombele only joined Spurs last summer, with the north London club spending a club-record transfer fee to sign him, it may be understandable why some Tottenham fans have found this reported news difficult to believe and it may be surprising if Tottenham allow the Frenchman to leave the club on a two-year loan deal just one year after spending a reported £53.8m to bring him to north London.
