Barca are working hard on exits and it looks like Lenglet will move on. The defender has been linked with a host of clubs since returning from Aston Villa and could now get the chance to try and impress back in La Liga.
The Catalans, meanwhile, are keen to get the Frenchman’s salary off the books as they bid to free up space on the wage bill. The club still need to register new signing Dani Olmo, with Hansi Flick hoping he may be available to play Athletic tomorrow.
