The summer transfer market closes on Friday, and Barcelona is anticipated to be quite busy over those 24 hours. Players are anticipated to enter and exit the Catalan club.
Clement Lenglet is one of those who will be leaving. Barcelona has been urgently trying to get the Frenchman this summer, first on a permanent basis, but as that fell through, they were forced to settle for another loan deal.
Aston Villa agreed to take Lenglet on loan for the 2023-24 season a few days ago, and as MD have reported, the defender has now passed medical tests at the Premier League side. It clears the way for the transaction to be completed before the deadline.
Aston Villa will pay a sizable percentage of Lenglet’s salary, which is great news for Barcelona. They’ll be hoping that the extra space will allow them to register all of their players before the registration window closes.
