Barcelona Faces Financial Strain Amid Transfers

Barcelona is set to loan Clement Lenglet to Atletico Madrid after extending his contract until 2027, aiming to reduce their wage burden with Atletico covering most of his salary. In a similar financial maneuver, Barcelona is considering selling Andreas Christensen to Premier League clubs like Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur to further alleviate their wage bill. Meanwhile, Chelsea have received a €30 million offer from Napoli for striker Romelu Lukaku, who could replace Victor Osimhen at the Italian club. Additionally, Barcelona's financial woes continue, forcing them to potentially offload high earners like Ilkay Gundogan, who might return to Manchester City, to register new signings like Dani Olmo.
