The FC Barcelona board knows that, unlike the two previous summer markets, this year it should not waste time to strengthen itself. The club prioritizes resolving the release of its discards soon, with Clément Lenglet being the most complex case
The FC Barcelona will try to give a species of ultimatum to Clément Lenglet to close his definite exit of the club this summer. By second consecutive year, the central returned to Catalonia after a cession and, in front of his insistence to follow playing in Europe and the elevated of his wage (16 gross millions to the year), the Barça evaluates alternatives that facilitate his traspaso or the resolution of an agreement to the that still subtract him two seasons for fulfilling.
The international French comes to contest 25 parties (2.071 minutes) the past season with the Aston Villa, but the ones of Birmingham descartaron his permanence in the team because of his high wage. Besides, the technical Unai Emery neither asked his signing, although the one of Beauvais was to title during the three weigh that Pau Torres was went by injury, surrendering to an acceptable level so much in the Premier as in the Conference League.
The Barça no descarta terminate the agreement of Lenglet
In this sense, the difficulty to find a team interested in Lenglet carries to the club to contemplate seriously the option to look for terminate his agreement this summer. However, this alternative is not easy to attain, since to the defender subtract him two years of agreement, at a rate of 16 'kilos' gross by each one. The club is had to accept at least 10M by his traspaso definite, but for the moment there are not offers of any European club on the table.
Another option that medita the Barcelona directive is to separate him definitively of the group until it concretise his exit, this like measure of pressure for Clément that it keeps calm and trusted find team on the end of the window of passes, to the equal that in 2022 and 2023. Nevertheless, this stage does not favour the interests of a Barça that is not had to negotiate another cession for the defence, as this supposes to do charge of a greater percentage of his index card. In any case, what himself is sure is that the central of 29 years will remain in Catalonia during turns it American and, probably, will have to train by his account several weeks.
