Clement Lenglet, a Tottenham Hotspur target, is being pursued by AC Milan.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via Italian outlet CalcioMercato.it, Tottenham Hotspur target and Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet is garnering interest from AC Milan this summer.
During the current transfer window, the Rossoneri have set their sights on the French national to improve their backline. The 28-year-old has previously been linked with several major Serie A clubs.
As things stand, the centre-back appears to be out of the Blaugrana project. As a result, it remains to be seen what his future contains.

Tottenham are in discussions with Barcelona to buy Lenglet, according to Spanish publication Sport. The defender spent the 2022/23 season on loan with the North London club, where he quickly established himself as a crucial player.
While the Frenchman was not a regular in our defense, he did start 24 Premier League games for Spurs last season. The Lilywhites centre-back had his moments, but he was also to blame for a couple goals.
Lenglet joined Barcelona from Sevilla in the summer of 2018. He was initially influential with the La Liga giants. However, since Xavi’s arrival, the defender has seen his game time dwindle at the Blaugrana.
The Spanish outfit have an abundance of talent in their backline. Ronald Araujo, Kules Jounde, Andreas Christensen, Eric Garcia and Inigo Martinez are all capable centre-backs.
On the other hand, Cristian Romero has been the only reliable option for Tottenham. The likes of Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez, Joe Rodon and Japhet Tanganga have left a lot to be desired over the years.
