Real Sociedad Show Interest In Barcelona Defender Lenglet

FC Barcelona faces another summer dilemma with French defender Clement Lenglet, who is under contract until 2026 but is not part of the club’s future plans.

Clement Lenglet’s high salary and the depth of Barcelona’s backline under new coach Hansi Flick are key reasons for this. He spent the last two seasons on loan playing for Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.

This summer, Barcelona might find him a closer destination as Real Sociedad has shown interest, according to Spanish media reports.

Real Sociedad are seeking a center-back after selling Robin Le Normand to Atletico Madrid for €30 million and they see Clement Lenglet as a potential replacement.

Clement Lenglet’s experience could be valuable for Real Sociedad, which needs a defender to make an immediate impact. However, his high wages pose a challenge for any potential suitor, including Real Sociedad.

Real Sociedad will be able to sign Clement Lenglet only if he reduces his wage.
