Vermaelen is said to be struggling with injury, but his absence has only intensified talk of a move. Barcelona are also believed to be monitoring the situation.

Tottenham are believed to be closing in on a £17m deal for Villarreal defender Mateo Musacchio, with reports suggesting that a move for the two-time capped Argentinian could be completed this week.
