Lenglet has only appeared in five games across all competitions this season, which has AC Milan trying to work out a deal with Barcelona to transfer the Frenchman to Italy.
As far as this possible trade has progressed, Milan’s request for information is all that has been agreed upon, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Writing in his latest exclusive CaughtOffside column, Romano states Milan want to be kept informed about Lenglet’s situation as the Serie A club looks to sign a defender in January
The transfer expert has said: “Nothing is close to being signed regarding the future of Lenglet but I have reported that AC Milan have asked for information on the player, that’s it for the moment. The club wanted to be informed so let’s see what they decide to do. Of course, the deal would be made with Barcelona and not with Aston Villa, but it’s still early stages.”
It remains to be seen if Emery will allow Lenglet to leave mid-season as Villa will then need a replacement for the rest of the campaign.
