Can't imagine that Chelsea would entertain that for one moment. Unless Sarri believes Jorginho is the answer to that area of the pitch and wants Gomes badly but I think that's very unlikely.
I don't think anyone except Valencia and I guess us want Gomes which is why half these rumors of who knows what validity always include "Barca are willing to include Gomes as part of any deal"Can't imagine that Chelsea would entertain that for one moment. Unless Sarri believes Jorginho is the answer to that area of the pitch and wants Gomes badly but I think that's very unlikely.
A large part of me is convinced that we will buy Andre Gomes and I apologise to everyone on this forum ahead of time if that happens for the insufferable moaner I will be the entire season about it.https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futb...espera-reflotar-el-interes-del-tottenham.html
André Gomes hopes to revive the interest of Tottenham
- The Portuguese midfielder is confident of signing for the club that wanted him last season or another of the Premier
André Gomes , 24, knows that his future is far from the Camp Nou. Despite the departure of Paulinho , Ernesto Valverde does not have the Portuguese footballer and the player also understands that the best thing is to change the air to recover his best version, which he could show at Valencia but not at Barça. The whistles of a sector of the fans, the depression that he confessed and the fact that Valverde stopped counting on him at the end of the season are more than enough arguments to look for a way out of Barça.
The ideal destination of André Gomes is Tottenham . The London club already felt his signing last season and now hopes to reinvigorate this interest of the Spurs. The Portuguese believes that the style of play of the Pochettino team adapts perfectly to their conditions and believes that there they could recover their best level.
If it is not Tottenham , the Premier League is the preferred destination of the player, who even last season changed agents precisely to have easier transfer to the English league. He no longer works with Jorge Mendes and now his brother and agent Paul Martin are the ones who represent him. Martin works regularly with Premier clubs, with which he is very well connected.
André Gomes has started the preseason with Barça, but with his mind already set in England. Yes, the Barca club hopes to recover part of the investment made.

With the squad composition we have (even knowing we will likely offload a fair few players) we better be very certain because he'll eat up a non-HG spot and if it doesn't work here he will be hard to offload.I can see this happening too (rightly or wrongly). Now he's dropped Jorge Mendes as his representative that might make a transfer to us more manageable, perhaps? In addition, it'll probably be a relatively modest fee compared with the other CM targets on our radar.
Good point. I am very surprised some 'hard decisions' haven't been made regarding the broader squad composition question to get us more safely under the HG issue. Perhaps we can turn Barca's loan penchant against them as they are eager to move him on and get a little cash for their dwindling coffers. I am not necessarily against this transfer and were he brought in without an immediate expectation to contribute then that might benefit him longer-term. Anything to get more competent footballers in the team.With the squad composition we have (even knowing we will likely offload a fair few players) we better be very certain because he'll eat up a non-HG spot and if it doesn't work here he will be hard to offload.
Why is he hoping to revive the Tottenham interest? What did he do previously to end it?
Wouldn't surprise me if this is one of the deals Goat alluded to as being 'close' with another team also thinking the same. Pretty sure Herc mentioned earlier in the window that if this deal were to happen it would be toward the end of the World Cup, so the timing's right.
I think it would be a bit harsh to say that of him, he was played on the wing for Barca a lot, but he's far more suited to a central position, showed flashes of great ability but lacked consistency even when played out of position so certainly a talented player in their, could be a case of Barca was a bit too much for him, or the constant being played out of position most likely didn't help eitherIsn’t he supposed to be a bit crud?
