It is not any secret that, from does already some weeks, the FC Barcelona is interested seriously in Clement Lenglet, the central of the Seville that has despuntado in the present season like one of the leaders of the Andalusian saga. The progression of the French defence is being very positive and in the Camp Nou handles like one of the big alternative.
Robert Fernández and Urbano Ortega, two of the 'marshals' of the technical office of the FC Barcelona, were present this Wednesday in Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán to be still in direct the party between the Seville and the Real Madrid in which Clement Lenglet was to title. The Barça does not forget of this young player of face to reinforce his staff.
The option of Clement Lenglet likes a lot to the sportive direction of the FC Barcelona because of the big level that has showed in the Seville since it arrived to LaLiga Santander. Besides, it treats of one of these important players that has a clause of rescission that does not adapt to his real level. Paying 30 million euros, would be culé.
Lenglet, besides, has turned into the indisputable leader of the defence of the Seville. It treats of a central expeditivo and with an exit aseada of balloon, two indispensable requirements. Besides, has experience in the League in one of his big clubs, taking into account also the big experience of the Barça with players fichados of the Seville.
The priority is Samuel Umtiti
In spite of that the FC Barcelona follows to Lenglet like an important option of future, the true is that renew to Samuel Umtiti keeps on being the big bet of the club. In spite of his irregular level during the end of the present season, in the Camp Nou have clear that do not want to leave him escape, more than at all by the excellent performance that has given in his two campaigns like Barcelona.
In a principle, the incorporation of Clement Lenglet only would carry out in case that Umtiti and the Catalan club did not arrive to an agreement to renew the agreement. The central French has clear that, to his 22 years, is not to be acting of anybody if it wants to progress, and in the Barça neither want to spend 30 millions for a player that do not play.
