FC Barcelona is in a race against time to finalize the departures of several players who do not fit into the plans of coach Hansi Flick. One of the names that is strongly rumored to leave the club is Clement Lenglet. The French center-back is not among the favorites to stay at the Blaugrana team, so his departure seems imminent.
The French defender, who has had an inconsistent spell at the Catalan club, seems to be getting closer to joining Atlético Madrid. After a slow start to the transfer window where Lenglet's high salary demands hindered his exit, the situation has changed in recent weeks.
Simeone wants him under his command
As reported by 'BarçaUniversal', Diego Simeone, Atlético's coach, has given the green light to incorporate the center-back into his team. This move has accelerated after the red-and-white club was forced to reconsider other options, like Feyenoord's David Hancko, due to the associated high costs.
Lenglet's signing by Atlético would not only ease Barcelona's finances but also strengthen the defense of the Madrid-based team, which aims to solidify its squad for the upcoming season. If the deal goes through, Lenglet would follow the path of other former Blaugrana players like Antoine Griezmann, Luis Suárez, and Memphis Depay, who also found a new opportunity under Simeone's guidance.
This seemingly imminent transfer could be completed in the coming days, marking a new chapter in the French defender's career.
