In the last 2-3 years, Barcelona tried to part permanently with Clement Lenglet. However, on each occasion they failed, and instead had to settle for loan deals (respectively to Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Atletico Madrid).
Lenglet's two spells in the Premier League were failures, but things have been significantly better at Atleti. In recent weeks, he has established himself as a beginner, while also producing several high-level performances. As a result, there is a good chance that a permanent deal could be arranged next summer.
Ace for SportBarcelona have been happy with Lenglet's performances this season because they believe there is now an increased chance that they can finally sell him. In their eyes, their value has also increased, although it is worth noting that they will not be able to earn a significant transfer fee because their contract expires in 2026.
It remains to be seen how the Lenglet situation plays out next summer. It is almost certain that he will leave Barcelonaand at this stage, remaining at Atletico Madrid it is a very likely possibility.
