According to a report from Brazilian outlet UOL Esporte, Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to get the deal done to sign Vanderson from AS Monaco in the summer transfer window.
It will be interesting to see where the 23-year-old ends up. He needs to join a club where he will play regularly. Tottenham already have Pedro Porro and Djed Spence. It will be interesting to see how they accommodate the Brazilian in their starting lineup.
The report claims that Tottenham are willing to invest heavily to get the deal done. Spurs need to improve their squad this summer. The North London outfit had a disappointing 2024/25 Premier League campaign, and they finished just above the relegation zone. They will look to do well next year and fight for UEFA Champions League qualification.
Spurs have brought in a quality manager this summer, and Thomas Frank will be expected to guide them to a top-four finish. Tottenham will be expected to do well in the domestic cup competitions as well.
It will be interesting to see if they can convince the Brazilian to join the club in the coming weeks. Barcelona are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and convincing the player to snub them will be difficult.
Barcelona won the league title in the 2024/25 season, and they will be an attractive destination for most players. They have the resources to get the deal across the line, and the player is reportedly valued at €35 million. It remains to be seen whether the Catalan outfit can get the deal done when they further their long-term interest.
Barcelona need to add more quality and depth to the defensive unit, and the Brazilian would be a solid acquisition. The 23-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to join a club where he will be able to fight for major trophies regularly.
Barcelona could be a more attractive destination for him compared to the London club. Tottenham are still very much in a period of rebuilding, and they will need to convince the player of their ambitions.
