Barcelona centre-back Clement Lenglet has joined Atletico Madrid on loan for this season, with no buy option included according to the clubs involved. The 29-year-old will spend his first season in three years in Spanish football.
Lenglet is believed to have extended his contract by an extra season with Barcelona until 2027, spreading out a reported €32m gross salary hit over the remaining two years of his deal. That has been crucial to Atletico agreeing to a loan deal. The French defender was keen to work under Diego Simeone, and held out for a move to Los Colchoneros.
They get the left-footed central defender they have been looking for all summer, albeit seemignly relinquishing any remaining hopes of signing Feyenoord’s David Hancko and Bayer Leverkusen’s Piero Hincapie, who were their priority targets.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Isaiah 60:22 says, "when time is right I the Lord will make it happen". Ecclesiastes 3 vs 11 says He makes everything beautiful in its time. So my encouragement today is 'don't give up'. God is mindful of you. He will also make you prosper.
