Atletico Madrid have not had much luck in the transfer market so far.
Los Colchoneros have signed Robin Le Normand, but their efforts to sign another centre-back – Mario Hermoso’s replacement – have not been successful. David Hancko is their main target, but three offers have already been rejected by Feyenoord.
The latest rejection has prompted Atleti to consider other targets. According to Foot Mercato, one of them would be Barcelona’s Clément Lenglet. The French defender is not popular in Catalonia, even if he impressed new coach Hansi Flick during the first weeks of pre-season training.
Lenglet is no longer popular at Barça
Talks between Atleti and Lenglet’s representatives are already underway. The player himself is keen to join Diego Simeone’s team in Spain, and it is likely that he will have a starting place if he arrives at the Metropolitano.
FC Barcelona will prioritise the sale of Lenglet this summer and, knowing that Atlético Madrid have the means to complete the transaction, it is likely that they will do everything possible to secure him. However, Barça would also accept another loan, provided that a large part of the 29-year-old’s salary is taken care of.
