29-year-old star to terminate Barcelona contract and join LaLiga rivals on a 3-year deal: Reports

  • On June 9, 2025, 29-year-old Clement Lenglet mutually agreed to end his contract with Barcelona and subsequently signed a three-year agreement with Atletico Madrid.
  • Lenglet ended his contract early after spending this season on loan at Atletico, as Barcelona sought to reduce their wage bill amid financial issues.
  • During his time at Barcelona, Lenglet featured in over 100 matches and secured Spanish league and cup titles, but after falling out of favor, he spent the past three seasons on loan, including spells in the Premier League and with Atlético Madrid.
  • This season at Atletico, Lenglet played 34 matches, scoring three goals, assisting twice, and earned coach Diego Simeone’s trust despite a difficult March-April period.
  • Lenglet's permanent move allows Barcelona to save €16 million per season and lets him join Atletico’s squad preparing for the Club World Cup this summer in the US.
