One week before the start of LaLiga, the future of Clément Lenglet at Barcelona remains uncertain. Despite the French defender not being part of Hansi Flick's plans for the upcoming season, he has yet to find a new team. Although he has received attractive offers from Arab clubs, as was the case last summer, Lenglet has chosen to turn them down, leaving his next destination in limbo.

Lenglet's salary is 16 million

Currently, Lenglet is considering several proposals, including two from top LaLiga teams: Atlético de Madrid and Villarreal. However, the main obstacle to reaching an agreement is his high salary at FC Barcelona, where he earns over 16 million euros gross annually. With two years left on his contract, this figure has become a challenge for interested clubs, unwilling to bear such a high expense.

Barcelona, on the other hand, is pushing for a resolution next week. The Catalan club is aware that to facilitate Lenglet’s departure, they will need to cover part of his salary, just as they did when the player was on loan at Tottenham. Nevertheless, they also hope the defender agrees to a significant reduction in his financial demands to aid his transfer.

The situation at Atlético de Madrid is particularly complex as the club is also negotiating to sign David Hancko, a defender from Feyenoord. However, Feyenoord's high financial demands, asking for 35 million euros, have led Atlético to consider Lenglet as an alternative. Yet, the Spanish club is not willing to match the Frenchman's Barcelona salary.

Villarreal finds itself in a similar position, interested in Lenglet but unwilling to take on his high wages. In this scenario, the defender will have to decide whether he is willing to accept a salary cut to facilitate his departure from Barcelona.
