Both clubs are in advanced talks and Conte wants to convince the central defender to accept the proposal
From Barça they hope that the player is OK with the operation according to ‘ESPN’
Clément Lenglet is one of the names with the most ballots to leave FC Barcelona the next season. The center-back, who has a contract with the Blaugrana club until 2026, would go out on loan to lighten Xavi’s list of defenders and the club’s coffers.
In this scenario, in Tottenham has appeared on the scene with force to take over the French’s services. According to ‘ESPN’, the English and Catalans are in advanced negotiations to close the deal for the defender’s one-year loan, despite the fact that Barça would prefer that Spurs sign the central defender permanently.
Information from ‘ESPN’ confirms that the London team would be willing to face a large part of the card of the player and that the operation would be waiting for a conversation between Conte and Lenglet which could happen as soon as next week.
Xavi would welcome the transfer since in his notebook Araujo, Eric, Piqué and Christensen are ahead of the French and, if the club can cope with the signing, so would Jules Koundé.
