Tottenham defender Sol Campbell will make a statement about his future tomorrow.
The England centre-back is out of contract on July 1st and has been linked with moves to Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Tottenham have been locked in talks with Campbell's adviser Sky Andrew amid reports that he has turned down an offer of stg£80,000 a week from the club.
Daniel Levy, Tottenham's non-executive director, has personally taken charge of negotiations and yesterday the club claimed they were "optimistic" of keeping him.
It is believed that Campbell has been offered a stg£100,000-a-week tax-free deal by Barcelona although he would almost certainly prefer to stay in this country.
The 26-year-old is free to talk to other English clubs, as it is after the third Saturday in May. Rival clubs now have the right to open negotiations with the player and his representatives, without having to wait until July 1st to make the first approach.
