Boca Juniors haven't given up keeping hold of Tottenham target Wilmar Barrios.

The Independent says the Buenos Aires outfit have offered Barrios an improved deal as they look to fend off interest from the Lilywhites.

Maurico Pochettino's men are on the lookout for a central midfielder, with Barcelona flop Andre Gomes a reported £30million target.

But with Barrios boasting a release clause of just £14.5m, the former Deportes Tolima ace is seen as an attractive alternative.

Guillermo Barros Schelotto's want to keep hold of their star man ahead of their upcoming Copa Libertadores campaign.

South America's version of the Champions League resumes in August, with Boca to face Paraguayan side Libertad in the Round of 16.
