Reports | Barcelona reject €20 million bid plus Serge Aurier from Tottenham for Emerson Royal

However, despite that ESPN has reported that Tottenham have submitted an offer for Royal worth €20 million although Barcelona have rejected it. The report has further indicated that the North London club also offered Serge Aurier in an exchange deal alongside the €20 million but the La Liga giants still rejected it. But Barcelona are confident that Spurs will return to the table with another offer before Tuesday's deadline as ESPN has reported that they will only let the 22-year-old leave if a massive fee is offered.

The club secured his signing in the hopes of providing Sergino Dest competition at right back, both now and for the future as the Catalan giants are hoping to bring the best out of the pair as the season progresses and rotation is needed. The right-back has already made his debut for Barcelona against Getafe helping the team to a 2-1 victory. Furthermore, Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman had expressed his desire to keep Emerson but the Spanish club's financial situation could force their hand.
