Tottenham Hotspur have a great chance of snaring young talent Dani Rodriguez away from Barcelona, but the Catalan giants are hoping the ‘sporting plan’ they can offer the player will be enough to stave off the North London side.

Just last month, Tottenham beat Barcelona to the signing of Swedish prodigy Lucas Bergvall, with the 18-year-old heading to London this summer to join up with Ange Postecoglou‘s squad.

It seems the Lilywhites are looking to get one over the Spanish side again soon, too, as they target 18-year-old winger, Dani Rodriguez.

Rodriguez is a promising talent in the Barca youth team, but he’s yet to feature for the first-team, and his contract expires this summer.

Can Barcelona keep hold of Dani Rodriguez?

Earlier this week, Spanish outlet Sport revealed Barcelona ‘fear’ they will lose Rodriguez at the end of his contract, with Tottenham keen to bring the youngster in on a free transfer.

Now, the same outlet (via Sport Witness) have discussed the battle between the two clubs, with Spurs able to outmuscle Barcelona financially, while the La Liga club hope they can entice Rodriguez with a better sporting proposal.

Sport suggest that Barca “will never be able to compete” with the kind of financial package Spurs could put together.

As a result, Barcelona will rely on the “sporting plan” they can lay out for Rodriguez, with the hope that they can do more for his career than a move to Spurs would bring. The fact that Barca have always given youth a chance is thought to be the main selling point.

Barcelona are worried Rodriguez “will leave” this summer, and it is believed Spurs are ahead of anyone else in the race to sign him.

Spurs Web Opinion

I don’t know whether we will sign Dani Rodriguez, but I definitely think we could if we are serious about the move. We’ve got just as exciting a project developing here at Spurs as the one Barca could offer, and we’ve got more money, too.
