There is a lot of talk about the renewal of Ter Stegen, who is about to sign a new contract that will unite him to the club until 2025, and of Ansu Fati's armor, a player who is breaking all records by and by as soon as precocity, but there is other cases in the template as blatant or more that they need urgent review by the club.
The most obvious is that of the French central Clement Lenglet. The international, who arrived the season 2018/19 Sevilla, signed for five seasons, with a clause unreachable of 300 million of euros. Barcelona had paid 35 million by his freedom letter and he was not willing to let it go so easily.
its performance during these two years he is being faultless, leaving behind a battered Samuel Umtiti, and earning ownership with Gerard Piqué in the central axis of defense. In fact, this course is already the fifth player plus used squad, with a total of 42 games and 3,238 minutes, second only to Ter Stegen, Piqué, Messi and Griezmann.
However, this sports performance it does not translate in economic terms. Lenglet stands at the tail of the platoon with respect to salaries, being the player squad number 17. His salary does not reach three million of euros gross, half a million euros less than the next on the list, Nelson Semedo.
In fact, the grievance becomes more surprising if we consider the salary of Samuel Umtiti, close to 12 million euros gross, that is to say, almost four times less than his compatriot.
Lenglet considers that review your contract and the club is ready to make an effort, aware that the performance the player is performing deserves an award. It remains to be seen how and when the contract improvement will be formalized, since the crisis of the pandemic of the coronavirus has left the club in a very complicated situation.
But it seems evident that after solving the renewal of Ter Stegen, the next one that could enter offices to solve their contract would be Lenglet
