Talks continue about the future of Barcelona stars, during the current summer transfer market, as the administration seeks to reduce the salary load, and find an opportunity for some players to leave.
Barcelona, which is suffering from economic crises, is seeking this summer to give up some of the team’s stars, to make room in the salary list to include new ones.
And according to what was published by the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, the English club Tottenham is seeking to include Dutch duo Memphis Depay and French Clement Lenglet from Barcelona this summer.
And the Spanish newspaper said that Tottenham had inquired about the situation of Dutch striker, Memphis Depay, during the negotiations to sign Clement Lenglet on loan.
The newspaper indicated that Barcelona intends to sell Depay, if he receives an offer of more than 20 million euros, and has informed his lawyer that the player is in the Mercato, and he can find a new club, because he will not get many minutes during the next season.
This comes at a time when “Sport”, quoting the Spanish newspaper “Marca”, confirmed that Tottenham had already completed the Lenglet deal with Barcelona, and had succeeded in including the French defender, during the current summer transfer market, on loan.
And Lenglet has in the loan contract, the option to buy by Tottenham, for 10 million euros, while this option would be the best for Barca, to leave the way to sign with other players.
The newspaper said that the London club will pay 85% of the value of the French salary, while Barcelona will bear 15% of his annual salary, which will make it easier for Barca to reduce the financial burden.
It is reported that Barcelona is in serious negotiations with the Polish Robert Lewandowski, the German star of Bayern Munich, to include him in Mercato this summer.
