Sevilla Defender Clement Lenglet Reportedly Set to Sign for Barcelona on a Five-Year Contract

After much speculation surrounding the future of Sevilla's French defender Clement Lenglet, the 22-year-old is reportedly set to join Barcelona on a five-year deal, according to Spanish news outlet Sport.

It is believed Lenglet's move to the Nou Camp will cost Barcelona €35m plus an extra €3m in add-ons, with La Blaugrana set to officially complete the deal on July 1st, once the new fiscal year has commenced.

Since the end of the 2017/18 campaign, the reigning La Liga champions' defence has been a major concern, with Samuel Umtiti's future at the club being uncertain, as well as Yerry Mina and Thomas Vermaelen being deemed surplus to requirements by Ernesto Valverde.
