LENGLET, IN NO HURRY TO RESOLVE HIS FUTURE
Clément Lenglet 'stands' against Barça and keeps his future up in the air
FC Barcelona will have to make great efforts to resolve the 'file' of the future of a Clément Lenglet who, once again, will not make it easy to define his plans for next season
It will not be a surprise that, in August, the FC Barcelona keep working in resolving the future of Clément Lenglet, as it happened does a year when it confirmed his cession to the Aston Villa of Unai Emery in the last day of the market of signings. The intention of the Barcelona is traspasarle of definite way and close his folder once and for all, but the plans of the player are very distinct.
Lenglet Has agreement by two seasons more, until the summer of 2026, and there will be one 'war' between both parts. While the Barça 'dream' with closing his future before 30 June so that it compute like profit of this exercise (2023/2024), the one of Beauvais will give long to define which will be his destination in the season 2024/2025. In fact, as it comes informing in the last days, will be present in the beginning of the pre-season of the blaugrana, foreseen for 10 July.
Lenglet Will do the pre-season... And afterwards it will decide
Like this then , Lenglet 'will test' with Hansi Flick before choosing his new team. Has very clear that does not go in in the plans of the Barça, but will want to explore all his alternatives. The fast road would be to leave to Saudi Arabia, where there would be two teams interested in doing with his services, but to him would like him continue competing to the maximum level in Europe. It lived a positive season with the Aston Villa, especially in the 2024, with 25 parties between all the competitions.
The Barcelona group will have to have patience and expect to that the representatives of the footballer of 28 years visit the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper to gather with Deco, sportive director, and company to define the leaf of route of this summer. They will have to insist in that 'apure' his plans and prioritise the option to be traspasado definitively and not chaining sutercera consecutive cession, after his go through the Tottenham (2022/2023) and Aston Villa (2023/2024).
The Barça risks to repeat the history with Lenglet
For the Barça is prioritario sell to Lenglet and 'give off' of his case, knowingly that it has supposed an important outlay in these last two years because they have had to assume a percentage of his wage. If they go back to yield him, would be repeating the history once again and 'preparing' so that it go back in 2025 with the same stage for his last year of agreement.
