Clement Lenglet Says Barcelona 'Can Work a Little Easier' with Neymar Saga over

Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet is pleased the club can put speculation over a return of Neymar behind them with the transfer window closed.

The Paris Saint-Germain star was linked with a move back to the Camp Nou throughout the summer but eventually remained at the Parc des Princes.

Lenglet told Canal+ (h/t Marca's Andreas Vou): "Neymar? There were many rumours. It was a very hectic period for the club. Finally it's over. This way we can work a little easier."

As football writer Jeremy Smith observed, there were twists and turns up until shortly before the window closed, when it became apparent the Brazil star would be staying with PSG:
