Lenglet’s move to Atlético Madrid is not entirely new, as he had previously joined the club on loan from Barcelona in August 2024. According to reports at the time, the loan deal was agreed upon after Lenglet extended his contract with Barcelona. The defender’s loan spell at Atlético Madrid was confirmed by the club in August 2024, with reports suggesting that the deal was nearing completion in the days leading up to the transfer.
