Clément Lenglet breaks the silence after his departure from Barça!

Clément Lenglet will play this season at Atlético Madrid. The French defender has been loaned for one year by Barça.

Not part of German coach Hansi Flick's plans, Lenglet did not want to extend his stay just to facilitate FC Barcelona's transfer operations. He therefore seized the opportunity to leave and ended up on loan at Atlético Madrid. When he justified his choice to join one of Barça's rivals, he displayed great ambitions with his new club.

“The greatness of the club, the quality of the squad, the coach… There are so many elements that make Atlético a unique club. It’s a great environment to work in, with real competition and a coach who pushes us to give our best. That’s why I’m here. You’ll see a hard-working Lenglet, ready to do anything to help the team. I’m in great shape and I can contribute a lot to help us win.”he said.

Lenglet could even play his first match in the next Colchoneros game this week. No time to lose for him, who is very motivated.
