Rafa Benítez wants a center-back of a certain name for his new adventure at Everton and has thought of Clément Lenglet. The Frenchman would arrive to be the leader of the 'toffee' behind and would be the replacement of Yerry Mina, who does not convince the coach
Clément Lenglet completed the course managed without doubts his worst season since it arrived to the FC Barcelona and to LaLiga. The French began in Spain shining in the Seville and after two good years there, the Barça bet by him and paid the almost 36 million euros of his clause of rescission. As culé began with a big first campaign, but already the campaign 19/20 went down his level and in the past was one of the worst defenders of all the competition.
The feeling that transmitted the Frenchman is that play with him in defence is to do it with a bomb of watchmaking that can burst anytime. The Eurocopa was the opportunity that had to redeem and show that his bad season only had been an anecdote, but the tournament has had the contrary effect. Although only it played 46 minutes in all the Euro, did not do fault more so that it remained clear his abysmal state of form.
The one of Beauvais was to title against Switzerland in the eighth of final by the multiple drops of the saga 'bleu' and went a disaster in the first time. Thus, Didier Deschamps substituted him to the rest to try go to by the party. France, however, finish falling in penaltis against the Swiss and now, Lenglet is an even more argued player of what was before beginning the competition.
Nevertheless, there is the one who still believes in the ex of the Seville and that it could bet by him this summer if the Barça decides to do box with him. It treats of the Everton, that seemingly looks for replacement for Yerry Mina, that is not of the taste of Rafa Benítez. The Spanish trainer, that will substitute to Carlo Ancelotti in the bench of the ones of Liverpool, does not trust the Colombian and would have asked to the French to reinforce the defence.
In spite of the bad campaign that has done Lenglet, his price of market keeps on being high and is valued in 25 million euros. However, the 'toffees' could try ficharle by something less and comments that they could offer around 20 'kilos'. It will be necessary to see if the Barcelona, that is needed of income and of sales to reduce mass salarial, accepts this proposal.
Lenglet Does not want to leave the Barça
Besides, it will be necessary to see what thinks the footballer, that in June left clear that does not want to leave. "I do not see me going out. I signed a new agreement the past season. I will be in the Barça the next season", declared Clément. These statements leave clear that it will be complicated to convince him that it accept to go out, although if the Everton him 'sell' be the leader dela saga, that is the plan that has thought Benítez for him, the situation could change.
