Barcelona have already paid the Lenglet clause

The Catalan club have already paid the release clause for Lenglet according to 'COPE' journalist Marco Lopez.

The Frenchman leaving will put 35million euros into the coffers of Seville, who had previously refused to negotiate with Barcelona regarding the deal.

Throughout the process, Seville continuously referred to the player's release clause.

Lenglet has been waiting for the confimation of the Barcelona move, but has continued to train with Seville in the meantime.

It is expected that Barcelona will soon make an official statement about the signing, who is still in Benidorm with Nervion's team.

As soon as the deal goes through, he will join the Valverde group in Barcelona.

Barcelona returned to training on Wednesday after the summer break, and the coach will want to get his new players in as soon as possible.
