It is not news anymore that Barcelona are already working towards luring Sevilla centre-back, Clement Lenglet to the Camp Nou. The Blaugrana have identified the French ace as one of the perfect options that would help in improving their defence this summer, and a deal worth €35 million is reportedly under negotiations.

At just 23 years old, Lenglet has firmly established himself as one of the most impressive defenders in La Liga. He had a great campaign last season, consistently producing rock-solid performances for the Andalusians throughout the campaign.
The France International would form a decent partnership with Samuel Umtiti at the heart of the defence, given his incredible confidence, calmness, and solidity. He can also serve as a decent backup to the ageing Gerard Pique next season, potentially replacing the 31-year-old afterwards.
