Barcelona turned down two Tottenham players in Emerson deal - report

Barcelona reportedly turned down the chance to bring in either Tanguy Ndombele or Serge Aurier as part of the deal that saw Emerson Royal move to Tottenham.

Emerson left Barcelona on deadline day after just three appearances for the club when Tottenham agreed to paid €25 million for the Brazil international.

Fabrizio Romano has offered some insight into the transfer and reckons Ndombele or Aurier were offered to Barca but the Catalan giants weren’t interested in either player.

It’s not the first time Ndombele has been linked with Barca, but it’s no surprise the club didn’t move for the midfielder, particularly given the current financial mess at the Camp Nou.
