Real Madrid to rival Barcelona for Tottenham Hotspur's Tanguy Ndombele?

Real Madrid and Barcelona are reportedly set to do battle for the signature of Tottenham Hotspur's Tanguy Ndombele.

The midfielder has struggled to adapt to the Premier League following his record-breaking move from Lyon last summer, leading to widespread speculation regarding his long-term future at Spurs.

Furthermore, the 23-year-old hit the headlines after being spotted training with manager Jose Mourinho and a few other players recently, going against government guidelines on social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic.

According to L'Equipe, Mourinho's previous criticism of Ndombele could see him head for the exit door rather than fight for his place, with Barcelona and Real Madrid said to be on red alert.

Recent reports have suggested that the Lilywhites could turn to Valencia midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia as a potential signing, although transfer dealings are currently shrouded in uncertainty due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Ndombele, who has registered two goals and two assists in 19 Premier League appearances thus far, will see his current deal at Spurs expire in 2025.
