Atlético de Madrid has stepped on the accelerator to definitively close the signing of Clément Lenglet, currently on loan from FC Barcelona. The French center-back, who is not part of Barcelona's future plans, has made it clear that his intention is to continue wearing red and white and compete with the Atleti in the upcoming Club World Cup, a circumstance that has hastened negotiations between both clubs.

Lenglet's loan ends on June 30, but both the player and Atlético want his incorporation to be permanent as soon as possible. The defender is willing to lower his salary and sign a long-term contract, until 2028 or even 2029, which would facilitate his registration with the Madrid team. On the other hand, Barça sees this operation as a key opportunity to free up wage space and gain room to register new signings this summer.

Barça prioritizes getting rid of his salary

Although initially the Catalans hoped to receive close to ten million, now the priority is to unload the high salary of the center-back. Deco, Barcelona's sporting director, believes that this move is vital to maneuver more freely in the summer market. Nevertheless, the club hopes to obtain some form of compensation, either financial or in the form of future options on Atleti players.

Time is ticking, and both parties know that time is running out. Lenglet has already made it clear that he only wants to continue at Atlético, a stance that reinforces the negotiating position of the Madrid club. In the coming days, a definitive resolution could be reached, with an agreement that would benefit all parties involved and put an end to a period without a clear direction in the French center-back's career.
