Lenglet: Firmly Heading to Atlético
Great news for the Rojiblancos fans! Clement Lenglet is very close to becoming an Atlético de Madrid player permanently. The French center-back, loaned this season by Barcelona, has proven his worth under Simeone’s leadership, becoming a key pillar of the defense at the Metropolitano.
Given the impossibility of a direct transfer, the Colchoneros management has worked on a contract termination with the Catalan club, a negotiation that seems to be about to materialize.
In this way, Lenglet would arrive at no cost, maintaining a salary similar to the current one, close to three million euros plus variables. His excellent performance with Atlético has not only secured him a place in the team but has also earned him a call-up to the French national team, starting in the semi-finals of the Nations League.
After his participation with France, he is expected to join Atlético de Madrid to compete in the Club World Cup. This season, Lenglet has played 34 games, 32 of them as a starter, demonstrating his commitment and quality. A great piece of news to further strengthen the Rojiblancos defense!
