Spurs have been tracking the 20-year-old along with the likes of Bayern Munich, Roma and Valencia, after he impressed with Barcelona’s B team.

 

The European champions rate Montoya highly however and have consistently been keen to ensure the youth product continues his career at the Camp Nou.

 

And despite fierce competition for a first team spot under Josep Guardiola, Montoya is ready to trust in Barcelona for his continued development.

 

"Yes, I want to renew", said Montoya when asked whether his future was with the Blaugrana.
