FC Barcelona continues working on the release of its 'discards' for 2024/25. One of the most complicated cases is that of Clément Lenglet, but Turkish Besiktas could lend a hand to the Catalans to get rid of the defender's high salary
The directive of the FC Barcelona will not expect too much this summer to clear the exit of Clément Lenglet. Unlike the two last markets estivales, where his cession closed to finals of August, the Barça needs to free mass salarial when before to be able to fichar with normality and the one of Beauvais is one of the main obstacles to be able to return to the rule of the 1/1, this thanks to the gross wage of 16 million euros that perceives product of his last renewal.
As they aim the last informations, the Besiktas Turkish would be very interested in negotiating by the cession of the central, doing charge of a majority percentage of his wage, although also there are expectations on the possibility of ficharle to 'cost zero' if, finally, the Barça agrees the unilateral rescission of his agreement. The international French signed until 2026, but always has had clear that the club does not have he and, except surprise, will not hinder his exit, as long as the culés resolve a clear economic just.
The Milan also is attentive to the future of Lenglet
Another of the clubs that has showed interest in Lenglet in the last days is the AC Milan. To the equal that the Besiktas, the 'rossoneri' also would look for to negotiate his cession without option of compulsory purchase, but only would be had to assume a small percentage of the emolumentos of the footballer. The Barça already exhausted the road to offer the letter of freedom to the central, an option that the own player descartó together with the possibility to go out of Europe.
Thus, in case of not finding a team that accept lidiar with the greater part of his wage, only remains to negotiate the rescission of the agreement, a complex alternative for the culés because of the forcing to amortise the two remaining years of the bond signed in 2020. Also it is the possibility to close a sale by the order of the 10 million euros, but by the moments there are not concrete offers of any European club by the French defender.
