Atletico keen on signing on-loan Barca defender
Atletico Madrid are reportedly willing to sign Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet on a permanent transfer, according to journalist Rubén Uría. The 29-year-old centre-back is currently on a season-long loan with the Colchoneros.
Lenglet joined Atletico ahead of the 2024-25 football season. While there was no option in the deal to make his transfer permanent, his performances this season have reportedly drawn Atletico into seeking a permanent deal with parent club Barcelona.
The French centre-back has so far played a total of 1060 minutes of football action for Atletico Madrid this season, making 13 appearances across all competitions. He has also scored two goals and helped the Colchoneros keep five clean sheets.
