The offer that Atlético would be willing to make to Barça to sign Clément Lenglet

The FC Barcelona has had in Clément Lenglet, probably one of its biggest headaches in recent times. The native of Beauvais, for some time, it has been confirmed that he does not have a place in the sports project of the Barcelona team. Despite this, the club has not been able to get rid of him definitively.

Although it is clear that he is a useful player, his contractual conditions, specifically his salary, make it quite difficult for any team to decide to bet on his transfer, not so much on his loan, the only way that Barcelona has found in the last three seasons to get rid of the French defender.

For the 2024-25 season, Barcelona found in a team from LaLiga EA Sports, Atlético de Madrid, an ally to get rid of Clément Lenglet, as the 'colchoneros' opted to request his loan. A move that at the beginning of the season seemed risky, but which today has translated into a real success for the team of 'Cholo' Simeone. Apparently, they are exploring ways to keep him definitively.

Wearing the 'rojiblanco' shirt, Lenglet has experienced a significant increase in his level of play. Despite a slow start to the season as a substitute, throughout the games, the French defender has gained the trust of his coach, who has positioned him as the left-sided defender, ideal to partner with José María Giménez or Robin Le Normand in Atlético de Madrid's defense.

At this point, the 'colchonero' would be preparing a proposal to convince Barcelona to sell Lenglet to them. According to journalist Rubén Uría, Atlético de Madrid would be willing to offer between 8 and 10 million euros for the transfer of the French defender.

All parties seem interested in making the operation concrete: Atlético is delighted with Lenglet, the player seems content in his new adventure (having played 13 matches and scored two goals), and Barcelona wants to get rid of a player with whom they have had significant difficulties and who is under contract until 2027. Additionally, the transfer money would also be a great economic relief for the Catalan club. The question is, will this operation succeed? Only time will tell.
