Tottenham are reportedly progressing in discussions with Barcelona for 28-year-old defender Clement Lenglet.
According to SPORT via Sport Witness, Tottenham are eager to find a solution with Barcelona for Clement Lenglet as talks progress between the two clubs.
The Catalan giants are keen to get rid of the 28-year-old defender to free up wages and balance their financial book, while Spurs are angling for a compromise.
Clement Lenglet may now have experienced the best of times in a Tottenham shirt after his loan spell in the Premier League.
Yet, Spurs are considering keeping the 28-year-old Frenchman on board and extending his loan deal.
Barcelona are now eager to send him on another temporary deal and hoped to sell him outright for a considerable fee.
Barcelona’s financial situation dictates the need to cull their wage bill and raise significant funds before June 30.
But Tottenham are only willing to offer €5 million for the experienced Frenchman.
The report claims talks are progressing between the two sides as Tottenham are ready to offer Lenglet a five-year contract.
The 28-year-old might receive lower wages than his current Barcelona deal, but the agreement’s longevity could provide him with some security.
The 28-year-old could sign on a standalone deal despite Barcelona’s evident interest in the Argentine midfielder.
Lenglet seems settled in the Tottenham dressing room and could be open to re-joining the north London side.
Barcelona will undoubtedly see a player leave for a lower fee, as they might have wanted more to sell the French defender.
