The Blaugrana have set a price tag of 15m euros for the French defender

Barça already warned that they were not going to lower Lenglet's transfer fee to Tottenham because the Frenchman has attracted other clubs as well. The Blaugrana club have received a proposal from Saudi Arabia in the last few hours and Milan have also asked for him.

Gazzetta dello Sport report that the Italian club are aware of the 15m euros valuation and are thinking very seriously about signing him as long as they can reach an agreement with the player.

Milan's enquiry for Lenglet came during the last game of their tour of the United States. The Italian side need a left-sided centre-back and there are few players with that profile on the market. They like him a lot, but they are aware that there is a lot of competition and that the player's high salary could be a handicap in reaching an agreement. Barça wouldn't mind a payment deal involving realistic add-ons.

Lenglet hopes to resolve his future in the next few days. He did not feature in any of Barça's friendlies in the United States to avoid injury.

The player, at the moment, absolutely prioritises the option of Tottenham with whom he has agreed on a three-year contract but is aware that there are economic differences between the clubs. The possibility of Al Nasr of Saudi Arabia, for now, is not in his plans.
