Clement Lenglet has been on a loan spell at various clubs, and his underperformance and high salary have been a stumbling block for these clubs to enquire about a permanent move.
After what appeared to be an unsuccessful loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur (2022–2023) and Aston Villa (2023–2024), Barcelona and France’s out-of-favour defender has finally been impressive at Atlético Madrid.
His performances with Atlético Madrid could see the Madrid side make a move to sign the Frenchman permanently after his loan agreement expires on June 30, 2025.
