Barcelona have officially begun discussions to offload Clement Lenglet this summer, as the French defender is no longer in the club’s future plans, sources close to the situation reveal.
❗Key Details:
Lenglet has been informed by club executives that he will not be part of Hansi Flick’s project moving forward.
Barça are actively seeking a permanent solution after his loan spells, with interest coming from La Liga and Saudi clubs, as well as a potential return to the Premier League.
His wages remain a stumbling block, but Barcelona are open to flexible terms, including a low-fee sale or mutual contract termination.
🔍 Context:
With the arrival of Eric Garcia back, and young center-backs being prioritized, Lenglet finds himself pushed further down the pecking order. Hansi Flick is said to prefer faster, more progressive defenders, which doesn’t align with Lenglet’s profile.
👉 Outcome Likely Soon: Barca want the situation resolved early in the window to reduce wage pressure and free up registration space.
💣 The exit door is open. Lenglet’s Barça chapter is c
oming to an end.
