Barcelona to consider move for Sevilla defender Clement Lenglet?

Sevilla defender Clement Lenglet has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Barcelona.

The Catalan giants possess a strong defensive record this season, with just 15 goals being conceded in 30 La Liga fixtures, but there is currently uncertainty surrounding the future of Samuel Umtiti.

The French centre-back is attracting interest from the Premier League due to his £52m release clause, and that has seemingly resulted in Barca identifying potential replacements.

According to Sport, Barcelona have been impressed with the performances of Umtiti's compatriot Lenglet, and will make an approach for the 22-year-old should they fail to keep Umtiti at Camp Nou.

The report claims that Lenglet's release clause stands at £26m, a fee which a number of teams could be prepared to meet for a player who has helped Sevilla to the Champions League quarter-finals this season.
