In the summer, Barcelona decided to give several players a way out with loan agreements. The list is quite extensive, and one of those on it is Clement Lenglet. Throughout the market, the player’s destination had been a great mystery and he was linked to different clubs. But in the end he ended up at Aston Villa.
It is normal that when a team signs a player, they use them, but Lenglet’s case is particular. And it is that in the Premier he has not had playing time, and this has begun to worry the Catalan club. This has led them to consider the option of shortening his loan, but this will represent some problems.
Emery is happy
This is undoubtedly a very particular case. It is obvious that Emery has not used the Frenchman in the Premier. So far he has not played a single match and it seems that this is not going to happen. But instead of letting him go, they could keep him because according to Barca Universal the coach is very happy with his performance.
Although they have not used the center-back in the Premier, he has been quite active in the Conference League, where he has established himself as an undisputed starter. His performance in the team has been decisive for the club, which has led them to be one of the most outstanding in their group, so letting him go is not an option.
They could try to keep him
The loan agreement that the Villans agreed with the Catalan team will keep Lenglet at the club until June 2024, and they do not plan for this to change. They will not accept that the loan is shortened, much less terminate his contract. In fact, speculation has begun that they want to keep him for longer, but for now it is just a rumor.
