Lenglet Continues Negotiations to Terminate Contract with Barcelona
Clement Lenglet, the Barcelona defender on loan to Atletico Madrid, continues his negotiations with his original club to terminate his contract, amidst complications due to his high salary and overdue payments from the Catalan club.
Lenglet's contract with Barcelona ends after one season, and he earns a salary of up to 16 million euros, making it difficult to reach an agreement for an easy contract termination.
Barcelona does not plan to retain the player, but it is still required to reach a financial settlement with him, a matter that has not yet been resolved, according to a report by the newspaper "AS".
For its part, Atletico Madrid is awaiting a resolution to this crisis, as it aims to sign Lenglet for free during the summer transfer window after the termination of his contract with Barcelona without paying any transfer fee.
Diego Simeone, the head coach of Atletico Madrid, considers Lenglet a key element in the defense, as the French defender has participated in 34 official matches with the team this season.
