Barcelona’s outcast has agreed to extend his contract to facilitate his transfer, while the coach has given the green light to sign a highly regarded Italian winger. This move aims to streamline the player’s departure and bolster the team’s attack.
Barcelona outcast agrees to extend his contract to facilitate his departure
Recent reports indicate that Clement Lenglet is set to extend his contract with Barcelona this summer to smooth his transfer to Atletico Madrid.
Journalist Roger Torello from Mundo Deportivo reports that Lenglet has accepted that Barcelona must first extend his contract to adjust his salary according to their needs before he can join Diego Simeone’s team.
Initially, Lenglet was reluctant about this plan. He was hesitant to extend his contract merely to help Barcelona distribute his salary over a longer timeframe.
However, after grasping the club’s financial situation, he has come to see its rationale. This shift in his perspective has been key to advancing the negotiations.
Lenglet and Barcelona are aligned in their approach
Reports indicate that Lenglet and Barcelona have started to agree on the terms, reaching a compromise that suits both parties.

Although Barcelona initially opposed Lenglet’s move to Atletico Madrid, they have now accepted the transfer, notably after the player reduced his demands.
The situation changed when Barcelona received a generous offer from Saudi Arabia for the defender, which he declined. This refusal may have led the French international to reassess his options, resulting in his agreement to a contract extension.
His current contract with Barcelona extends until 2026. By prolonging it, the club can spread his substantial salary over a longer term, which also helps Barcelona comply with financial fair play regulations.
Following an extensive negotiation process, both sides appear close to reaching an agreement. If everything proceeds as planned, Lenglet’s transfer to Atletico Madrid could soon be finalized, moving him closer to joining the team this summer.
The deal is approaching completion, with only a few details remaining to be finalized.
Barcelona coach approves transfer of highly-regarded Italian winger
Federico Chiesa has gained significant attention within Barcelona as the club urgently seeks to bolster their attack this summer.
With top target Nico Williams poised to stay at Athletic Club, Chiesa has become the perfect alternative. His addition to the team is expected to significantly bolster Barcelona’s attack this summer. Barcelona is now preparing to pursue the Juventus forward.
Hansi Flick gives the green light for Chiesa’s transfer
Before Barcelona submits an official offer for Chiesa, they have secured essential approval from head coach Hansi Flick.
According to Gerard Romero, the German coach approved Barcelona’s pursuit of Chiesa, which is available at a reduced price this summer.
Recent reports indicate that Barcelona may soon bid formally for the Italian player, with the Blaugrana prepared to propose a €10 million offer to Juventus.
While Juventus is likely seeking a higher fee, Barcelona holds a strong position, aware that the Italian giants are eager to offload the forward. Negotiations are ongoing, and Barcelona is confident that they can secure a favorable deal for Chiesa.
Chiesa is set to join Barcelona
Chiesa is ready to move to Barcelona to advance his career.

Reports indicate that the Italian international is willing to reduce his salary to join the Catalan club this summer. Chiesa sees Barcelona as a great opportunity to further his career and is willing to make financial sacrifices to make the transfer happen.
The forward has already approved the transfer, indicating that Barcelona is progressing significantly in pursuing the Italian winger.
In the coming days, Barcelona will face a crucial period as they aim to finalize Chiesa’s transfer and register their new summer signing, Dani Olmo.
