According to Goal, Tottenham and Barcelona are still negotiating over how much the purchase option for Clement Lenglet would be worth.
Reports from Spain indicated on Tuesday that it was only a matter of time before Lenglet completes a season-long move to Spurs (Sport).
However, Football.London poured cold water over that update on Wednesday, insisting that Tottenham still had work to do to get the deal for the Frenchman over the line.
Goal have now claimed that Barca and Spurs are ‘very close’ to reaching an agreement regarding the centre-back, whose move to the North London club is very much ‘on track’
The report suggests that Lenglet has already agreed on personal terms with Tottenham and that Antonio Conte’s men have agreed to pay 80 per cent of his salary during his loan spell, with the Catalan giants picking up the tab for the remaining 20 per cent.
However, it is asserted that Barca want to include a purchase option of around €20m (£16.9m) for the former Sevilla man, and that negotiations are continuing regarding the same.
Spurs Web Opinion
Spurs will be trying to bring down the purchase option as much as possible but I do not think that is likely to be a deal-breaker. In fact, I believe there is a very good chance that Tottenham do not activate the purchase option next summer, and instead try again to sign Allesandro Bastoni.
