Tottenham: First six fixtures of 2021/22 Premier League season
Tottenham have reportedly made contact with Barcelona over the possibility of signing Miralem Pjanic. Midfielder Pjanic had a tough first season at Barca following his arrival from Juventus last summer. And Barca are now keen to shift the 31-year-old off their wage bill as they attempt to make room for Lionel Messi's new contract.

Tottenham transfer news: Fabio Paratici is in charge of signings at Spurs (Image: EXPRESS)
And during his 11 years in a similar role at Juve, he became known for signing players on free transfers.
Andrea Pirlo, Paul Pogba, Fernando Llorente and Aaron Ramsey are among the players to have signed for Juve for no transfer fee during Paratici's reign at the club.
And Pjanic would add to that reputation if he became a Tottenham player this summer.
Pjanic still has three years remaining on his Barca contract but Koeman does not see him as part of his plans.
Mundo Deportivo says Pjanic is not the only player who has been told he can leave Barca for free.
