The summer window is about to close, and Barcelona are pressing to clear up their redundant personnel, including defender Lenglet. The 29-year-old France had impressed new manager Flick after returning from loan at Aston Villa, but there was no place for him in the team, and staying meant Barca had to pay 19 million euros a year in salary and amortization.
According to Le Monde Sport, two La Liga teams asked Barcelona about Lenglet. First of all, Villarreal, Yellow Submarine coach Marcelino is interested in strengthening the central defender and has his eye on Lenglet. But due to the France's high salary, Huang Qian was not optimistic about signing him.
The other team is Atletico Madrid, with Simeone already nodding his head in agreement to sign Lenglet. The Sheets, despite bringing in Lenormand, are still looking for another centre-back, and Hank's deal is not going well and they have turned their attention to Lenglet. Although salary is an issue, Lenglet, Barcelona and Atletico are confident that they can reach a consensus.
Spain midfielder Dani · Olmo is about to officially join Barca, and he posted a long message saying goodbye to Leipzig on social media. The 26-year-old Spain joined Bundesliga side Leipzig from Dinamo Zagreb in January 2020 and has established himself in the team to help them develop into one of the Bundesliga powerhouses.
During his time at Leipzig, Olmo made 148 appearances, scoring 29 goals and providing 34 assists. He is about to move to Barcelona and posted a touching farewell message on social media: young club, young players...... We grew together, won our first championship together, made history together. The Germany Cup, the Germany Super Cup, these are just some of the many memorable moments that will remain in my memory forever. Thank you Leipzig, you will always be in my heart. Leipzig is my home!
The photos released by Olmo record his good times at Leipzig and make Barcelona fans look forward to his arrival!
