Even though Clement Lenglet returned to Barcelona following his loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur, there had endless reports that the defender would make a return to London.
Reports from the English and Spanish media claimed Spurs were working to have the 28-year-old back, and an agreement with the Camp Nou side wouldn’t be difficult.
However, as now reported by Mundo Deportivo, Tottenham may not his destination, as Lenglet could end up in Saudi Arabia.
The outlet writes that Barcelona are currently negotiating his transfer to Al-Nassr, and talks are advanced.
Mundo Deportivo point out that ‘everything suggested’ the player would move to Tottenham, but the Saudi club now shows up willing to pay him a big salary.
Barcelona, as usual, aren’t expecting a big sale, but are happy to get rid of the player’s wages.
The report makes it sound like there’s little left for the agreement to be made, and that will the end of Tottenham claims.
Spurs are still to invest in a centre-back this summer, and may now have to change targets.
