Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet is negotiating his departure from FC Barcelona. The French defender wants to stay at Atl\u00e9tico and play in the Club World Cup. Both parties are looking to close the deal before June 15.<\/h2> \r\n

Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet<\/a><\/strong> has landed in Barcelona with a clear objective: to finalize his departure from FC Barcelona<\/strong> as soon as possible. The 29-year-old French center-back has met this week with the sports management of the Bar\u00e7a club to resolve his future, conditioned by Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid’s imminent participation in the FIFA Club World Cup<\/strong>, which kicks off on June 15.<\/p>

Lenglet wants to continue under the orders of Diego Simeone and play the entire international tournament, something that would not be possible if his contractual situation is not resolved before June 30<\/strong>, the date on which his current loan expires.<\/p>

Atl\u00e9tico wants to retain Lenglet beyond the tournament<\/h2>

The defender’s performance in the red and white team has been remarkable. With 2,876 minutes played<\/strong>, three goals and two assists, Lenglet has been a starter in important matches such as the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid and the league matches against Bar\u00e7a.<\/p>

Given this scenario, Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid<\/strong> wants to keep the player permanently<\/strong>, not only for the Club World Cup<\/strong>, but as part of their squad for the upcoming season. To do this, a definitive agreement must be reached with FC Barcelona<\/strong> in the coming days.<\/p>

Bar\u00e7a wants compensation for the additional matches<\/h2>

From the Bar\u00e7a management, Lenglet’s departure is viewed favorably, especially due to the high salary cost that his contract represents, which is valid until 2027. His departure would allow freeing up salary mass<\/strong>, one of the priority objectives of the sports planning for the new season, marked by the demands of Financial Fair Play<\/strong>.<\/p>

However, if Lenglet’s continuity at Atl\u00e9tico is extended only to play in the Club World Cup<\/a><\/strong> before closing his transfer, Bar\u00e7a will demand financial compensation<\/strong> for the additional matches played after the official expiration of the loan.<\/p>

Advanced negotiations to avoid contractual conflicts<\/strong><\/p>

Both parties are interested in avoiding a formal conflict and resolving the situation before June 15<\/strong>. The red and white club, for its part, seeks to close the definitive incorporation of Lenglet before the start of the tournament, which would avoid any possible restriction or federative problem during the competition.<\/p>

The player’s disposition is also clear: Lenglet wants to continue at Atl\u00e9tico, where he has found regularity and confidence, and does not contemplate returning to Bar\u00e7a, where he is not in Hansi Flick’s plans.<\/p>

A priority operation for Bar\u00e7a, Atl\u00e9tico and Lenglet<\/h2>

The definitive departure of Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet<\/strong> is shaping up as a key operation for both FC Barcelona<\/strong> and Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid. The former wants to lighten its salary mass and advance in its sports restructuring; the latter seeks to reinforce its defense with a player already integrated into its system.<\/p>

The outcome, barring an unexpected turn, will come before the start of the Club World Cup<\/strong>.<\/p>
