Their potential relegation could open up a myriad of opportunities for other clubs across Europe to sign a slew of gifted players on a cut-price deal.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona monitoring five Spurs players<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sport.es\/es\/noticias\/barca\/barca-pendiente-joyas-tottenham-viejos-129588707\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Diario SPORT<\/a>, Barcelona are among the clubs monitoring the situation at Spurs and are keeping tabs on at least five players.<\/p>\n<p>The club are particularly looking at the defensive duo of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, two players who could significantly bolster the club\u2019s backline.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Van de ven, in particular, could be an interesting pick thanks to the Dutchman\u2019s ability to play out from the back.
