As ɾєρօɾτed byFabrizio Romano,Tottenham HotspurandBarcelonaare set to meet over the coming days to discuss the futures of Clément lenglet and Giovani Lo celso.
Lenglet, who has now departedSpursafter a year-long loan spell from the Spanish side, is believed to be among 2 other names in the club’s shortlist of left footed centre-backs to sign this summer.
The 27-year-old has been in and out of a squad which has had a tumultuous season, playing a total of 32 matches in all competitions under three different managers. Furthermore,previous ɾєρօɾτs have suggested that the North London club were pleased with the Frenchman, and have informed the Blaugrana of their intention to purchase him permanently.
As for Lo Celso, the former PSG man initially joined Mauricio Pochettino’s Lilywhites on a season-long loan Ԁєɑł from Real Betis in 2019 worth £14.1, before joining permamantely a year later under Jose Mourinho, for a fee believed to be £28.5m. However, the 27-year-old failed to make a significant impact at theTottenham Hotspurstadium and has subsequently spent the last 18 months on loan atVillarreal.
The World Cup winner’s performances for The Yellow Submarine this season- in which he made 25 appearances and claimed one goal and three assists- are ɾєρօɾτed to have caught the eye ofBarça, especially from head coach Xavi, who is said to appreciate the versatile midfielder.
The Argentine has also attracted concrete interest from Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, having briefly played under the Spanish manager at Villarreal, prior to his move to the West Midlands last November.
