Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet reportedly set for Tottenham transfer

<p>Centre-back Clement Lenglet is expected to make a permanent move to Tottenham, after spending the season on loan from Barcelona.</p>

<p>The Catalans face a crucial transfer window in both signing necessary reinforcements and alleviating their financial strain.</p>

<p>Barcelona aim to finalise Lenglet's departure next week, as reported by Sport, with Spurs displaying interest in acquiring him on a permanent basis. The expected fee of €6m is half of his initial valuation.</p>

<p>Notably, Barcelona stand to save over €30m in wages by parting ways with Lenglet, as he was among the highest earners at the club, earning around €18m per season, despite being surplus to requirements under Xavi Hernandez's management.</p>

<p>Barcelona hope that Lenglet's impending exit is the first of several as they strive to overcome their financial challenges in the coming years.</p>
