Yesterday, Barcelona officially announced the termination of the contract with French central defender Lenglet, and Atletico Madrid immediately announced the news that Lenglet joined the team.
After being abandoned by Barcelona this season, Lenglet was loaned to Atletico Madrid. The 29-year-old French central defender has gained another main position at Atletico Madrid, playing 34 games in the season and contributing 3 goals and 2 assists.
In the summer of 2018, Barcelona spent 35.9 million euros to introduce Langle from Sevilla. In the first three seasons at Barcelona, Lenglet was one of the team's main central defenders, and his value once rose to 60 million euros. In 2020, Barcelona renewed its contract with Langlet until 2026, and offered Langlet an annual salary of 12 million euros.
Then Lenglet's form declined and lost Barcelona's main position, and his contract also became a burden to the team. Therefore, Barcelona has loaned Lenglet to Tottenham and Aston Villa in the past two years.
According to media reports, Barcelona will loan Lenglet to Atletico Madrid, renew the contract with the player until 2027, and share the salary of the original two-year contract to three years. Barcelona will pay part of the remaining contract salary this time, while Langelle will give up the remaining part.
