On August 22, according to Spanish media outlet “Mundo Deportivo,” Saudi club Jeddah United plans to sign Lenglet, but the player only wants to join Atlético Madrid.
Jeddah United, a club from the Saudi league, already boasts numerous French stars such as Diaby, Benzema, Aouar, and Kanté. Now, Jeddah United has set its sights on French central defender Lenglet, with the Saudi team believing that Lenglet can fit into their defensive system.
However, this Barcelona central defender only wants to join Atlético Madrid and has ruled out all other options. After loan spells at Tottenham and Aston Villa, Lenglet does not want to move away from Europe’s top five leagues, with Atlético being his sole desire at this stage.
It is worth noting that the interest from Saudi Arabia is genuine, but if Lenglet himself does not wish to go to the Saudi league, then no amount of money on the table will make a difference.
