AC Milan eyes Clément Lenglet: Defender’s uncertain spell at Aston Villa sparks transfer rumors

Starting for FC Barcelona, Clément Lenglet is experiencing a challenging season at Aston Villa. Despite the promising performances of the team under Unai Emery, the French central defender has played only 450 minutes since the season’s commencement, hinting at a potential departure in January if no solution is found.

Recent rumors suggest that AC Milan is closely monitoring Lenglet’s situation and is seriously considering acquiring him.

The Italian club, in search of a central defender with a blend of quality and an affordable price tag, has reportedly sought information from FC Barcelona regarding the French player’s status at Aston Villa.

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, AC Milan has taken steps to assess the feasibility of a transfer for Clément Lenglet.

If negotiations were to be initiated, this could expedite the transfer process.

However, Lenglet is not the sole option on the Rossoneri’s list. The Italian club is also exploring other avenues, including a potential move for Jakub Kiwior from Arsenal, as well as the prospect of recalling Matteo Gabbia from his loan spell at Villarreal.

The winter transfer window appears crucial for AC Milan as they aim to strengthen their defense with experienced players at the highest level.
