Barcelona defender Lenglet has 48 hours to answer Tottenham's interest
Barça are keen for the Frenchman to accept a move to London
Roma have dropped out of the bidding due to his high salary
Xavi Hernandez told several players at the end of the season that they are not part of his plans and should look for a new club -- one of them being Clement Lenglet.
The French defender went on holiday with the task of finding a home for next season, although he has not been proactive, because it's the club who are pushing him towards being decisive.
A lot of clubs have been linked. Roma and Tottenham have shown interest. The former pulled out of the race because of Lenglet's high salary. The latter will not wait forever for Lenglet's decision.
Lenglet must decide this week and Barça hope he agrees on a move to Tottenham, who are playing Champions League football and use a back three under Antonio Conte. He may now get a better offer.
Moving him on is key because Barça would save on the €10m he earns annually and make room for a new centre-back. Samuel Umtiti and Oscar Mingueza would still have to find new homes, though, as Xavi has told them.
