According to SPORT last week reported that Barcelona are interested in Tanguy Ndombele. Without going any further, the Catalan side sent Ramon Planes to Lyon to watch the French side's Champions League game against Manchester City on Tuesday.
Ndombele, a France international, has been one of the stars of Ligue 1 this season. The midfielder's reputation has shot up and the reports reaching Barça's sporting director have been good. Abidal, therefore, sent his No.2, Planes, to see for himself.
Barça, following their usual policy of comparing different scouts and coaches' reports, have established the order to follow with Ndombele. Abidal's good relationship with Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas allows them to block the player's next move as they decide whether to make an official move. On Tuesday, Planes had the chance to watch him on the big stage.
