It remains clear that this summer transfer market will be key to the future of FC Barcelona. With the impossibility of executing more levers to create salary space, Barça is obliged to reduce its salary mass through sales, contract terminations or downward renewals. After the approval of LaLiga to the feasibility plan, the Catalan team will first close the renewals of Gavi and Ronald Araujo.
With 6 players on loan outside the club, solving the future of these players will be vital. In this sense, FC Barcelona is one step away from finalizing the sale of Clement Lenglet to Tottenham. After participating in 35 games this season, the Frenchman has convinced the English team, who are negotiating the purchase of the defender.
substantial savings
as it points Sportdespite the fact that the initial negotiation was about the 12 M€everything indicates that Barça will accept the sale of the former Sevilla for 6 M€. An amount significantly lower than expected, but it will help to reduce the large wage bill of the Catalan squad, financially drowned by the Financial Fair Play.
Renewed until 2026, Lenglet’s salary at Can Barça this season would reach up to 18 M€a considerable figure considering the battered economy of the Blaugrana. Thus, with the sale of Lenglet, FC Barcelona expects to save, in the long term, an amount greater than the 30 M€key to normalize the economic situation of the club.
