Real Sociedad looks to Barcelona to strengthen 4m1u3g

Clément Lenglet, 29 years old, is one of the players whom FC Barcelona is looking to transfer during this summer transfer window. Despite his contract with the Catalan club running until 2026, his high salary and the fact that he is not part of the plans for the season make it urgent to find him a new destination.

Recently, Real Sociedad has shown interest in the French center-back. The team from San Sebastián needs a quality replacement for Robin Le Normand, who has been transferred to Atlético de Madrid for around 30 million euros. Le Normand's departure, a recent Euro champion, leaves a significant gap in the team's defense, prompting them to search for a player who can immediately contribute.

Lenglet fits this profile, having showcased his abilities during his time at Sevilla, which led to his move to Barcelona in 2018. However, his hefty salary poses a major obstacle for any club interested in acquiring his services. According to 'MundoDeportivo', it is reported that Lenglet is unaware of Real Sociedad's interest but would consider a proposal that aligns with his financial and sporting expectations.

The French center-back spent the previous season on loan at Aston Villa and previously at Tottenham. Despite rumors linking him to Saudi football, Lenglet has shown no interest in moving to that league.

Currently, Lenglet is training under Hansi Flick and has impressed the coach. However, the Barcelona board does not intend to retain a player with such a high salary in the squad, especially if he is not going to be a regular starter. Therefore, Lenglet's departure seems imminent, and Real Sociedad could be his next destination if conditions are favorable for both parties.
