A few days ago we told Don Balón about the problem that FC Barcelona has in the exit operation with Martin Braithwaite and Miralem Pjanic, who are not for the work of leaving the club. This is not the only problematic case in terms of casualties that Barça must undertake in order to sign.
Clément Lenglet is another of the players who is not being easy to place on the market. The French central defender would agree to leave Barça, but it seems that no other team is willing to pay the ten million gross per season that the Frenchman charges.
The French defender arrived in Barcelona in 2018 from Sevilla FC, who earned just under 36 million euros for his transfer, an amount very close to the central defender’s termination clause. Since then, Lenglet has played 160 games for Barça, scoring seven goals and giving three assists. This season he has participated in a mere 1,200 game minutes divided into 27 games, a participation that was greatly reduced with the arrival of Xavi Hernandez to the bench of Barça.
At 26 years old and with a contract until 2026, the most feasible destination for Lenglet seems to be the Premier League. Teams such as Everton, Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham have the Beauvais-born defender on the agenda, although his salary claims are the biggest stumbling block and there has been no formal offer yet. This is not the only Barça player Newcastle is following, who are also very aware of Memphis Depay.
Initially, FC Barcelona intended to get more than 15 million euros for the Frenchman, but now they do not rule out a transfer as an alternative to the lack of interest in a transfer, which would help save part of the player’s high salary. Xavi doesn’t want Lenglet or Umtiti, and Barca has to release both to bring the defender that the Catalan coach wants, Koulibaly. Be that as it may, Laporta and his technical secretariat must accelerate the exit operation if they do not want to get off on the wrong foot in the transfer market that opens on July 1.
