Clément Lenglet Leaves Sevilla FC for FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona Signs Clément Lenglet: What it Means for the Club

On June 12, 2018, FC Barcelona announced the signing of Clément Lenglet from Sevilla FC.

The 23-year-old French center-back has signed a five-year contract with the Catalan club, with a buyout clause of €300 million.

Lenglet is a highly-rated defender who has been capped by France at U21 level. He is a physical and composed defender who is comfortable on the ball.

Lenglet is a versatile defender who can play in a number of positions across the back line.

He is most comfortable playing as a central defender, but he can also play at left-back or right-back.

Lenglet is a good passer of the ball and is able to play out from the back.

Lenglet is likely to be a key player for Barcelona next season.

He is expected to provide competition for Samuel Umtiti and Gerard Piqué for a starting spot in central defense.

Lenglet could also provide cover for Jordi Alba at left-back.

The signing of Lenglet is a significant coup for Barcelona.

He is a young, talented defender who has the potential to become one of the best in the world.

Lenglet's arrival will also help to increase competition for places in Barcelona's defense, which can only be a good thing for the team.
