Arrived at FC Barcelona in 2018 with the status of great defender in the making, Clément Lenglet failed to confirm the promises seen at the start of his career. His visit to Catalonia was the start of the slowdown in his progression curve. Loaned successively to Tottenham, then to Aston Villa, the Frenchman finally found a smile this season at Atlético de Madrid.
The capital's club has managed to convince the abutments to release it to enlist it permanently, when it was still two years of contract. According to Gerard Romero's Twitch channel, Barça signed a € 1.5 million check to the defender to give him his freedom. A good deal since otherwise all taxes included, the Spanish champion should have paid around € 20 million until the end of the contract in 2027.
