The Catalan daily
Sport
does not bring good news for the French defenders of FC Barcelona on Monday.
Clément Lenglet
(26) comes out of a failed season from A to Z, he who had however extended his contract last year until 2026. If he did not intend to move this summer, Barça would count on meeting with him on his return from vacation and reaffirming his wish to lend him with an option to purchase.
The tracks leading to Arsenal and Tottenham are mentioned, without conviction.
Live: Transfer window live: Lyon seek to repatriate Umtiti, still unwanted at Barça
For
Samuel Umtiti
(27), it's more complicated.
The tricolor world champion stays less and less in the infirmary, but he has not found his best level.
A year after failing to repatriate him, Olympique Lyonnais "is looking again for formulas" to be loaned to his former defender, who left for Barça in 2016 for € 25 million.
Much of it would depend on Umtiti's "goodwill", according to
Sport
.
In the summer of 2020, he refused to lower his salary, except that OL could only assume a certain percentage that Barça did not consider high enough.
