Clement Lenglet as a ‘ last resort ’ to bolster Antonio Conte’s protective species this summer.
The Italian has made the signing of a left- sided central protector one of his top precedences this window, despite Welshman Ben Davies outstripping in the position as last season went on.
Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni, Torino’s Gleison Bremer and RB Leipzig star Josko Gvardiol have all been named as major Tottenham targets.
still, Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge believes the north London could end up with Lenglet rather.
The Frenchman is none to be fat to conditions at the Nou Camp. To that end, Barca are anticipated to cash in to raise finances for other transfer targets.
Lenglet was considered a achievement for Barcelona when they inked him in 2018. still, his stock has dropped significantly over the last time.
Indeed, the 27- time-old started only seven LaLiga games last season as Barca finished runners- up to Real Madrid.
And now Bridge, speaking with GiveMeSport, claims the protector could be north London bound if other targets fail to come off.
He said “ There’s talk about Bremer, the Torino protector. And also the one Barcelona have offered to every European club, Clement Lenglet. I suppose that could be a veritably last resort. Indeed a deadline day one perhaps, if Tottenham really haven't got anyone, but he ’d be the last resort, I ’d imagine. ”
Bastoni remains favored Conte option
At this stage, Bastoni remains Conte’s top target but Inter aren't keen to vend. Meanwhile, the player himself has also stated his intention to remain at the San Siro.
Lenglet is certianly supposed a cheaper volition. still, Conte may decide not to move for another cenre- reverse at each if he ca n’t get who he wants.
That would leave Davinson Sanchez and Japhet Tanganga as back- ups, assuming Joe Rodon is moved on.
