Barcelona star to leave for Atlético ‘in the coming hours’ | OneFootball

An out-of-favour member of the defensive ranks at Barcelona is expected to put pen to paper on terms with La Liga rivals Atlético Madrid at any moment.

That’s according to Marca, who point towards Clément Lenglet as the player in question.

Stopper Lenglet of course spent this past season out on loan away from Barcelona, with the aforementioned Atlético.

And after a shaky start to life with Diego Simeone’s side, the Frenchman over the course of the campaign developed into an important player in Spain’s capital.

Such form culminated in the board at the Metropolitano making clear their hope of retaining Lenglet’s services for next season, albeit only in the case of his contract with Barcelona being terminated.

And as alluded to above, on Monday, as much is mere details away from coming to fruition.

As per a report from Marca:

‘Clément Lenglet will leave Barcelona in the coming hours. The player has reached an agreement in principle with the club to terminate his contract. This way, the player will be able to sign a contract with Atlético Madrid.’
