Barca advancing with the sale of Clement Lenglet

Barça have started work to try to seal several transfers as soon as possible in order to begin to bring in key revenue to adjust their salary limit. One of the most obvious will be Clement Lenglet, who is a starter at Tottenham and has every chance of staying. The leaders at Barca have spoken in recent hours with the London club to advance the negotiations, warning that there are other teams interested. The goal is a definitive transfer and not to prolong his loan.

Lenglet left Barça for Tottenham on loan without an option to buy. The English club took over the majority of the wages on and Lenglet reduced his salary somewhat to make it all come together, despite the fact that it was not easy to convince him. The intervention of the English club's former coach, Antonio Conte, was decisive in getting the Frenchman to give in and, in sporting terms, he has taken a step forward.

The left-sided centre-back is a first-choice centre-back at Tottenham and Conte had great faith in him. The Italian coach's departure from the club had led to complications in his future, but the reports on the player at the London club are very good and they want to bet on his continuity. Barça understand that Tottenham want to keep him and hope to close a transfer for more than 12 million euros, a figure that will allow them not to take losses on a player who arrived for 35 million euros from Sevilla.

The idea of the two clubs is to continue advancing in the negotiations with the player's OK. Lenglet already knows that he does not fit into Barça's future plans, so he must leave and Tottenham are fine option. Inter enquired about him at the meeting in Barcelona a few weeks ago, but Tottenham will have priority and all parties hope that a good deal can be reached.
