Atletico Madrid could surprise by signing a Barcelona reject

The current state of Atlético de Madrid leaves more doubts than certainties. The reality is that the team from the capital of Spain has lost quality names, who, although they were already at the point of veteran status, give the impression that they at least had a couple more years at the club, most of them starters like Morata, Savic and Mario Hermoso himself, in addition to the termination of Depay. That being the case, the board continues to hunt for reinforcements and the last name on the table is Lenglet.

Sport claims that Le Normand was signed to take Savic’s place, and now the club is looking for a left-footed defender and the option of Lenglet is gaining ground, as the Frenchman is an undervalued player, so he could arrive on loan or even for a very low transfer price. The Frenchman was also on the table at Sevilla, however, the Sevillians do not have the financial resources to undertake his arrival, which leaves Atletico Madrid in pole position for Clement.

Lenglet has been a starter for Barcelona throughout the pre-season and has even worn the captain’s armband. Reports indicate that Hansi Flick is surprised by his form on the pitch. However, the board is in favour of his departure, as he has a contract from the Bartomeu era, which makes him one of the highest paid players in the squad. The Catalans are open to sitting down with Atlético to negotiate with Clement.
