We covered a report today where it was claimed that agreeing personal terms with the player would not be a problem.
The Catalan giants want a fee in the region of £17 million (€20m) for the 18-year-old central midfielder.
The north London club recently sold Moussa Sissoko to Watford, while the futures of Harry Winks and Tanguy Ndombele are also in doubt.
Spurs are also aiming to bolster their forward ranks before the summer transfer window closes.
However, their attempts to sign Adama Traore are still up in the air, with Wolverhampton Wanderers unwilling to sanction the winger’s sale.
Traore worked with Spurs manager Nuno Espirito Santo when he was in charge at Wolves and will probably be keen to reunite with the Portuguese.
