Atletico willing to trade Lemar for Clauss

Although there have been several departures at Atletico, the club has not yet closed any signings this summer, which has led to speculation about many players who could be on the ‘Colchonera’ agenda. One of them is Jonathan Clauss.

L'Equipe claims that the Spanish side are interested in Olympique Marseille right-back Jonathan Clauss. Atletico have already tried to sign him in the past, but with no luck, and his name is still on Cholo Simeone's wish list.

According to the French newspaper, to bring him to the Metropolitano, Atletico would like to seduce OM with an exchange: Thomas Lemar for Jonathan Clauss. Although they do not play in the same position, as one is a midfielder and the other a defender, the ‘Colchoneros’ are trying to convince the Marseille side with this move.

Last season Thomas Lemar was injured and could only play three games in the whole season. Since he joined the club in the summer of 2018, there have been many speculations about his departure, but he has never left the club. 

The second most expensive signing in the history of Atletico Madrid could become a bargaining chip for the board claims ‘L'Equipe’. However, it will be Olympique Marseille who will have the final word.
