Barca defender ‘reaches pre-agreement’ with Atletico Madrid

Clement Lenglet ‘has reached a pre-agreement’ with Atletico Madrid, reports Cope’s Pedro Morata.

The move depends on Atletico’s Financial Fair Play situation as they have to sell players. Besides, the negotiations over his salary are still going on, according to Matteo Moretto.

Villarreal were also interested in the Frenchman, but the player himself prioritises moving to Atletico Madrid.

Lenglet is among Barca’s highest-paid players, so it’s crucial to offload him before the summer transfer window shuts.

The 29-year-old reportedly impressed Hansi Flick in the pre-season, but both the board and the coaching staff don’t count on him anyway.
