Atletico Madrid's president, Enrique Cerezo, admitted that the club is in talks to ensure the continuity of Clement Lenglet for the upcoming season, although he did not detail the strategy being explored to reach an agreement with Barça: "Lenglet is a player owned by Barça. We are going to talk. I imagine there will be an agreement for him to continue with us," pointed out the red-and-white leader on 'Tot es mou' from TV3.

Atlético secured Lenglet's loan last summer without a purchase option in a complex operation. The French center-back had to renew his contract with Barça by one more year, until 2027, to defer parts of his salary and allow Atlético to take over his wages. Lenglet accepted this condition because he wanted to play for the colchonero club and rejected all other offers he had, including a very attractive economic proposal from Saudi Arabia.
