Bar\u00e7a still has not defined Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet’s future. The Frenchman will return in July after a year on loan at Atl\u00e9tico<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

The FC Barcelona board has a serious problem with Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet. The 29-year-old defender will return in July<\/a> after a season on loan at Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid, where, beyond having earned a starting position, he does not seem to fit into the club’s financial planning for next season.<\/p>

And it is that, although Diego Simeone is happy with Lenglet’s performance in 24\/25, the club is not willing to assume his very high salary next season. Bar\u00e7a is willing to accept even less than 10 million euros for his definitive transfer<\/strong>, but again his salary is the main obstacle to finalize his departure.<\/p>

Atl\u00e9tico is not willing to assume Lenglet’s salary<\/h2>

Cl\u00e9ment has a contract with Bar\u00e7a until 2027 and his gross salary is 16 million euros<\/strong>, one of the highest in the cul\u00e9 squad. Hence, the azulgrana team rules out a new loan, since this, instead of solving the problem, postpones an unsustainable situation for the Catalan wage bill. <\/p>

Although loan departures allow Bar\u00e7a to free up a place in the squad, the club always ends up assuming a majority percentage of the defender’s salary. Being exceeded in its ‘Fair Play’<\/strong>, the team cannot afford to continue carrying such a high salary, much less for a player discarded three years ago.<\/p>

A similar scenario occurred after his time at Tottenham (22\/23) and Aston Villa (23\/24), teams where he also performed at an acceptable level. In the ‘colchonero’ team, the Frenchman has accumulated a couple of goals and assists in 33 games (2,786 minutes)<\/strong>, with 22 starts in Liga and another 7 in Champions League.<\/p>

The player from Beauvais will turn 30 next June, but insists on remaining active in one of the major leagues in Europe. This factor has prevented Bar\u00e7a from resolving his transfer to Arabia, although clubs such as Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr<\/a> have contacted him.<\/p>

Thus, everything indicates that Cl\u00e9ment, for the third consecutive summer, will report to the azulgrana pre-season<\/strong> waiting to find a team next season. However, Barcelona needs to resolve his departure as soon as possible, this time definitively.<\/p>
