Atlético de Madrid already has clear who will be their first signing for the upcoming season: Clément Lenglet. The French center-back, on loan from FC Barcelona, has completely convinced Diego Simeone, who has asked the red-and-white board to do everything possible to ensure his continuity beyond the summer.

Lenglet joined the Madrid team in the last summer transfer window after extending his contract with Barcelona until 2027. Although he failed to establish himself in previous loan spells at Tottenham and Aston Villa, he has found a coach at the Metropolitano who believes in his abilities. Starting as a substitute, an injury to Robin Le Normand opened the door to his starting role in October, and since then he has become a regular in 'Cholo's' schemes. With 20 games played and two goals, the defender has shown defensive security, character, and quality on the ball.

Lenglet would cost around 10 million euros

Enrique Cerezo has recently confirmed Atlético's interest in keeping him, although formal negotiations with Barcelona have not yet begun. According to the Sport newspaper, the Blaugrana club expects to receive around ten million euros for his transfer, a figure that the Colchoneros will try to reduce, aware of Barça's need to balance their wage bill.

Lenglet, on his part, is delighted with the idea of ​​continuing to wear the red-and-white colors, although he knows he might have to adjust his salary. With the possible exits of Witsel and Azpilicueta, his stay seems strategic for Atlético.
