For the third consecutive summer, FC Barcelona will have to decide where Clément Lenglet will play next season. The Frenchman insists on ruling out offers from Arabia, which is why he will wait until the summer market closes in August for an offer
Clément Lenglet will go back to take calmly the resolution of his future this summer. The central of 28 years has to return to the FC Barcelona after a season to loan in the Aston Villa where, although it went back to show an acceptable level, will not have place because of his very high index card. The one of Beauvais invoices 16 million net euros, a quantity that represents a ballast for the finances of the Barça of which recently will be able to rid in June of 2026.
The defender still has two remaining years of agreement and, for the moment, follows firm in his intention to follow playing in the European elite, descartando mudarse to Arabia to invoice an even upper wage to the that the Barça accepted to pay him when it renewed by five seasons more in the summer of 2020, with a clause of rescission of 300 'kilos'. From here that the Frenchman was calm and convinced to report to the Barcelona and next pre-season 10 July, waiting for a club that interest in him for the 2024/25.
Lenglet Is not an alternative in the plans of Hansi Flick
In this sense, Lenglet has very clear that, although it report early to train under the orders of Hansi Flick, the German trainer will take him into account for turns it American to finals of July. The Barça explains in his staff with Araújo, Koundé, Christensen, Íñigo Martínez and Cubarsí regarding head offices, a list to which join this summer Eric García and Clément, both of return after a year yielded.
Of the two, the one who yes has options to struggle by a place is Eric, as long as the club do not finish negotiating his traspaso definite to the Girona before the team travel to United States for the pre-season and the club decide to sell to Araújo or Koundé. The international French, by his part, will expect to the end of the market estival by an offer, probably for another loan, as sucedió with Tottenham (2022) and Aston Villa (2023). This road allows him save at least the 40 % of his index card, although the ideal for the managerial would be to close a traspaso by the order of the 9-10M. For now, only a pair of Arab clubs showed interest in the central.
