On August 9th, Spanish media eldesmarque reported that Atletico Madrid manager Simeone has agreed to sign French defender Clement Lenglet.
Previous reports claimed that Atletico were still hoping to sign Feyenoord center-back Lutsharel Geertruida. However, due to the offer being lower than Feyenoord’s expectations, the transfer negotiations have been slow to respond. After consideration, Atletico decided to give up signing Geertruida. At this time, French defender Lenglet became Simeone’s alternative option. He is also an excellent left-footed defender.
Last season, Lenglet made 14 appearances (14 starts) for Aston Villa in the Premier League, contributing 1 assist. He currently has a market value of €10 million.
