Tottenham are reportedly “considering” a move for Barcelona director of football Mateu Alemany, who turned down a transfer to Aston Villa.
The Villans apparently coveted Alemany, and the Spaniard had agreed to move to England before changing his mind and pledging his dedication to his work at Camp Nou.
Instead, Villa secured the services of highly-rated Sevilla director of football Monchi, who is now working alongside Unai Emery after leaving Sevilla for the second time in his career. His most recent achievement with the La Liga club was winning the Europa League, a competition he has won seven times in his two tenure at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
And transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Spurs could now be set to appoint Alemany as their director of football, with the Barcelona man to depart the Catalan giants in September.
He tweeted: “Tottenham considering Mateu Alemany as potential option as new Director of Football starting from September.
“Alemany will part ways with Barça on September 2 and was close to Aston Villa in June — PL opportunity could return soon with Spurs.”
