Al-Nassr are pushing hard to sign Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet

Barcelona go into the final stretch of the summer transfer window with their cards already marked. Two players who are not in their plans -- Clement Lenglet and Sergiño Dest -- are still to leave, while a sale in the attacking positions would be welcome as well. The first to leave could be Lenglet. A meeting is scheduled for Wednesday to discuss his sale to Saudi side Al-Nassr after European options failed.

Lenglet is aware that he will not stay at Barça. The club has not registered him and will not do so unless it is strictly necessary. The player returned to pre-season already knowing the intentions of the club and his intention was to continue at Tottenham. Barring an unexpected turn of events, the move to the Premier League has broken down because the English side do not want to pay a transfer fee if they have to pay the player's wages.

Al-Nassr, meanwhile, have not stopped pushing for Lenglet in the hope of convincing the player. And Barça are prioritising that route because there is money to be made, although they are also looking for other imaginative formulas. It remains to be seen whether the Frenchman will give in now that many stars have signed for the Saudi league.

A summit is scheduled for Wednesday at which the situation should be clarified and nothing can be ruled out. Barça want to settle his departure definitively and not wait until the last days of the market to transfer him. There would be several clubs interested in signing him in Europe assuming one year of his salary.
