OFFICIAL: Lenglet signs for Atletico until 2028 after terminating his contract at Barca
The club statement:
The French international defender has officially signed his new contract with our club.
Clément Lenglet and Atlético de Madrid have reached an agreement for the signing of the French international until 2028. The centre back, who was on loan at our club this season, will remain with us for the next three seasons.
After learning his trade in the AS Nancy Youth Sector, he made his first-team debut in 2013 and achieved promotion to Ligue 1 in the 2015/16 season. He arrived in Spain in January 2017 when he signed for Sevilla. He soon became a regular starter for the side. After a season and a half, he signed with FC Barcelona in the summer of 2018. He played 160 matches for the Catalan side and scored seven goals, helping the team to win one La Liga, a Copa del Rey and one Supercopa de España. After, he went on loan to Tottenham Hotspur (2022/23) and Aston Villa (2023/24) before joining Atlético de Madrid.
He has played 34 matches for our team so far, scoring three goals and providing two assists. His high-level performances earned him a recall to the France squad for the recent Nations League matches.
Congratulations, Clément!
