According to recent reports, Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet, currently on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, is unlikely to secure a permanent move to the Catalan club. The French international joined Barcelona on a season-long loan in July 2023, but the La Liga side is not expected to trigger the purchase option, which is reportedly around €10 million.
As a result, Lenglet could return to Tottenham Hotspur for the 2024-25 season. However, Spurs may look to sell the 28-year-old, as he is not part of manager Ange Postecoglou's long-term plans. Several clubs, including teams from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, have been linked with a move for the defender.
Barcelona's decision is influenced by their financial constraints and the emergence of young defenders like Pau Cubarsí. Lenglet has made limited appearances this season, further reducing the likelihood of a permanent deal.
