Happiness is not in the loan. This summer, Clément Lenglet returned to FC Barcelona after a season on loan from Tottenham. For a long time, we thought that the French international would return to Spurs. But they decided not to call him back. Barred by competition at Barça, the former Sevilla FC player waited all summer. Finally, he found the right fit at the end of the transfer window. Indeed, Aston Villa opened the door for him.
A new start for Lenglet, who wanted to find playing time and bring his high-level experience. But everything didn’t go as he imagined. Indeed, Unai Emery has never used it in the Premier League, where the Villans are in a good fourth place (29 points, 1 game in hand) after 14 days. The former PSG coach, on the other hand, used it in the Europa League. Lenglet appeared 5 times (450 minutes of play).
Bayern Munich is there for Lenglet
This is obviously not enough for the defender, who always has the Blues in the back of his mind. Same observation for FC Barcelona which is worried about it. The Catalans hope to sell him this summer and the fact that he doesn’t play or plays very little is not a good thing for them. But maybe they will smile again. Indeed, a very large European club has looked into the Lenglet case, whose contract ends in 2026.
Bild reveals that Bayern Munich really appreciate the profile of the 28-year-old player. The Germans, who need reinforcement at the back following the injury to Matthijs De Ligt, have checked the name of the Habs, whose price amounts to around 10 million euros according to transfermarkt. For this reason, but also for his qualities, the French player appeals to managers. It now remains to be seen whether Aston Villa will agree to break his loan and whether Barça, who needs money, will agree to sell him at this price this winter. In the worst case scenario, Bayern Munich will return to the charge this summer according to Sport.
