Barcelona is looking to raise funds through player departures to strengthen the squad in the current January transfer market.
Names such as Ronald Araujo, Ansu Fati and Eric García are being linked with possible departures, while the Catalans are also hoping to generate income through transfers involving former players such as Oscar Mingueza and Trincao.
Now, it seems that the blaugrana could be positioned to make some cash from the sale of a player who is currently out on loan.
Atlético de Madrid, close to permanently signing Clement Lenglet
In fact, according to AS journalist Edu Burgos, Atlético de Madrid is very close to closing the transfer of Clement Lenglet from Barcelona permanently in the current January transfer market.
Lenglet signed for Red and white coming from Barça on loan for a season in the summer with no purchase option included in the agreement.
After a rather slow start in the Spanish capital, the French defender has become an integral member of Diego Simeone’s squad, firmly establishing himself as a regular starter at the back.
As such, Atlético are eager to finalize his acquisition on a permanent basis and are working to do so right now rather than waiting until the summer transfer window, when the player will enter the final year of his contract with Barça.
According to previous reports, The Colchoneros They are willing to offer between 8 and 10 million euros to sign Lenglet from Barcelona, a figure that the Catalans will probably be happy to accept given that the defender does not figure in their future plans and receives very high salaries.
Either way, it looks like Lenglet will join Atlético Madrid on a permanent deal that could be close to completion this month, providing Barcelona with a much-needed revenue boost.
