Of all the players Barcelona loaned last summer, Clement Lenglet may have impressed the most.
After enduring a slow start to the campaign, in which he served primarily as a substitute, the Frenchman has established himself as a vital cog in Diego Simeone’s defensive unit.
Lenglet appears to have capitalized brilliantly on Robin Le Normand’s injury, showing form not seen since his time at Sevilla.
In light of Lenglet’s brilliant performances, Atlético de Madrid are seriously considering the possibility of acquiring his services on a permanent contract lately.
Barcelona sets the price of Lenglet
Given Atlético’s desire to sign Lenglet, a recent report from Transfers has offered more insights into the future of French.
It seems that Lenglet is one of the three defenders that Simeone has requested from the Atleti board, as the Argentine coach seeks to shore up his ranks in defense.
Barcelona, for their part, are willing to part ways with Lenglet, but have set a price of between 15 and 20 million euros.
It should be noted that Atlético Madrid do not currently have any purchase clause as part of Lenglet’s loan deal. Therefore, the Red and white He will have to reach an agreement with Barça to sign the former Sevilla player.
Lenglet’s possible departure could go a long way to easing some of the tension on Barça’s balance sheet. In fact, any income from the sale could be a plus for the club.
That’s because Barcelona, not long ago, was considering the possibility of terminating the Frenchman’s contract, which does not expire until 2026.
Therefore, a signing for Atlético de Madrid can not only bring new income to Barça’s coffers, but also free up space in the salary bill.
