Ibrahim Afellay is ready for showdown talks over his Barcelona future - with Tottenham and Liverpool watching developments.
Afellay wants to speak to new coach Tito Vilanova in the next week to discuss his plans for the new season.
Following a surprise switch to the Nou Camp from PSV Eindhoven in 2011, Afellay has failed to shine at Barcelona.
Injuries have halted his progress and he has made just 20 La Liga appearances since moving there - and Afellay is eager to be more involved.
The 26-year-old was given a break after Holland's disastrous exit from Euro 2012 and he's set to return to Barcelona seeking answers.
Liverpool and Spurs are long term admirers and will keep an eye on the situation with Afellay. However, as talkSPORT revelead yesterday, the two Premier League clubs will have to fight it out with French side Lille, who have targeted Afellay as a replacement for Joe Cole.
