Relevo have revealed that Clement Lenglet will join Tottenham on Friday before linking up with the squad ahead of the pre-season tour in South Korea.
Tottenham attempted to include an option to buy Clement Lenglet permanently from Barcelona after his loan spell but were unable to come away with an agreement.
Spurs are on the verge of signing the 27-year-old defender on a season-long loan (Fabrizio Romano) with the move set to be the fifth arrival of the summer for Antonio Conte.
It is explained that Lenglet accepted the switch to the Premier League last week, with the finishing touches now being applied on the move ahead of an official announcement.
Romano also noted the transfer would be a straight loan with Tottenham holding no option to buy clause upon its conclusion next summer.
Spanish outlet Relevo has now revealed Spurs tried to negotiate a clause with Barcelona but came out of talks without an agreement. A specific figure has not been mentioned.
The report explains Lenglet will officially sign for the club on Friday and will join up with the squad under Conte’s orders ahead of pre-season.
Spurs Web Opinion
It looks like Tottenham were trying to test how far Barcelona would be willing to go regarding a deal for Lenglet given he fell massively out of favour last season.
Either way, a loan is the most sensible option for Spurs here as wages are likely to be fairly costly, while there is no guarantee he will be a success.
