Atletico Madrid is reportedly nearing the completion of a permanent transfer for a player deemed surplus to requirements at Barcelona.
Barcelona is seeking to generate financial resources through the departure of players in order to strengthen the squad during the current January transfer window.
Players such as Ronald Araujo, Ansu Fati, and Eric Garcia are reportedly being associated with potential exits, while the Catalan club is also seeking to generate revenue through transfers involving former players, including Oscar Mingueza and Trincao.It now seems that the Blaugrana may be poised to generate revenue through the transfer of a player who is presently on loan. Atletico Madrid is nearing the completion of a definitive transfer for Clement Lenglet.
According to AS journalist Edu Burgos, Atletico Madrid is nearing the completion of a permanent transfer for Clement Lenglet from Barcelona during the current January transfer window. Lenglet joined the Rojiblancos from Barcelona on a season-long loan agreement during the summer, with no option for purchase included in the arrangement.
Following a somewhat sluggish commencement to his tenure in the Spanish capital, the French defender has evolved into a pivotal component of Diego Simeone’s system, solidifying his position as a consistent starter within the defensive lineup.
Consequently, Atletico is keen to expedite the completion of his permanent acquisition and is actively pursuing this objective at present, rather than deferring the process until the summer transfer window, at which point the player will commence the final year of his contract with Barcelona.
According to prior reports, Los Colchoneros are prepared to extend an offer ranging from €8 to €10 million to acquire Lenglet from Barcelona.
This amount is likely to be acceptable to the Catalan club, considering that the defender is not included in their future plans and is currently receiving a substantial salary. In any case, it seems that the transfer of Lenglet to Atletico Madrid on a permanent basis may be nearing finalisation this month, which would offer Barcelona a significant influx of revenue.
