The player who could say 'goodbye' to Barça to sign for Villarreal

Clément Lenglet's days at FC Barcelona are numbered. The defender returned to the Spanish team this summer after his loan to Aston Villa and although he has convinced Hansi Flick of his value, his high salary prevents him from staying with the Blaugrana.

For this reason, speculation about his future has not stopped arising and in the last few hours a new admirer has appeared, who would allow him to stay in La Liga. We are talking about Villarreal, who need a left-footed centre-back after the departure of Jorge Cuenca, which will coincidentally leave the Barça board with an additional income.

The Frenchman's issue is one that the sporting management, headed by Deco, wants to resolve quickly in order to welcome other priority signings to the team, such as Dani Olmo or Nico Williams. Luckily for Lenglet, he has not been short of suitors and would have the opportunity to continue playing at the highest level.

Marcelino bets on Lenglet

Marcelino García Toral's team has shown interest in the former Sevilla player. The coach would have a lot of confidence in the player who has gone through two consecutive loans to the Premier League. The Frenchman's experience at Barcelona, ​​added to that at Tottenham and Aston Villa, make him an interesting player for any team.

However, there could be other players on the list of suitors to fill the space left by Jorge Cuenca, such as Unai Núñez from Celta. But Lenglet's name stands out because the coach is looking for an experienced defender. The player could have a price tag of around 10 million euros, although Barça is not closed to negotiations, because they want to say goodbye to one of their biggest discards.
