Lenglet, closer and closer to Atl\u00e9tico, but the ‘colchoneras’ demands complicate things for Bar\u00e7a. Discover the points of friction<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Is FC Barcelona<\/strong> close to facing a complicated summer with Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet’s departure<\/a>? It is not entirely clear, but what is an imminent reality is that, at least, the situation this summer presents better prospects<\/strong>. <\/strong>On the horizon there is already a marked favorite to take over his services: Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid<\/strong>.<\/p>

And yes, the French defender, with a contract with the cul\u00e9 team until June 30, 2027<\/strong>, had an interesting season as a loanee in the ‘colchonero’ team<\/a>. He consolidated himself as the eighth player with the most minutes played in the ‘rojiblanco’ team this season (2,877), and the second among the central defenders, only behind Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Gim\u00e9nez <\/strong>(3,014). Thus, the Frenchman established himself as the starting left-footed defender in ‘Cholo’ Simeone’s eleven.<\/p>

Despite this, it is clear that from the Metropolitano, aware of Barcelona’s<\/strong> desire to get rid of a Lenglet<\/strong> who has been causing headaches in the azulgrana entity for some time \u2014which also has numerous assets in defense and has no sporting interest in having the Frenchman again\u2014, they will try to negotiate his incorporation under very advantageous conditions<\/strong>.<\/p>

Atl\u00e9tico, firm in its conditions to sign the Frenchman<\/h2>

In this sense, Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid<\/strong>, according to Mundo Deportivo, <\/em>is considering not offering financial compensation to FC Barcelona<\/strong> to acquire the services of Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet<\/strong>. They would even have hinted, playing dumb, that he is not a priority, unless favorable conditions are agreed.<\/p>

The Madrid team would not be willing to assume his entire salary in a new loan<\/a><\/strong>. Therefore, they would also remain attentive exploring other options to reinforce that demarcation, such as Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero<\/strong>, from Tottenham Hotspur, for example.<\/p>

Here, the flexibility that the player from Beauvais can show to reach an agreement regarding the salary<\/strong> he should receive in the two years remaining on his contract will be especially relevant. If these amounts are renegotiated, the chances of the ‘colchonero’ team betting on his continuity increase considerably.<\/p>

Barcelona does not rule out terminating Lenglet’s contract<\/h2>

Now we can only wait to see how this operation unfolds, in which, apparently, a termination of Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet’s<\/strong> contract with Barcelona<\/strong> is not ruled out either. This measure would allow the club to save the impact that his registration would have on the wage bill, an aspect that, by the way, has also greatly complicated his departure to any other destination. And it is that, although many value his sporting qualities, assuming such a high salary remains a difficult obstacle to overcome.<\/p>
