Barcelona are after a joker player at the back, specifically someone who can play at left back. One of those is Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen and he’s classed as one of the ‘veteran’ options with Barcelona able to provide him an ‘escape route’ from Tottenham. Despite being 28 years of age, Vertonghen is into a list of veteran candidates.
Although Dortmund’s Kevin Grosskreutz may feel more hard done by, he’s on the veteran list despite being just 26 years of age.
