'MD': Agreement reached between Barca and Lenglet

The Spanish newspaper led with the headline: "Agreement with Lenglet" on Wednesday's edition amid growing speculation that a deal is done between the two parties. 

Lenglet has allegedly been undergoing informal talks with Barca in recent weeks but it seems these negotiations have progressed rapidly.

It is reported that 'Los Cules' will pay €35million to secure the Frenchman's signature for five years, a steal in the current inflated market, and could add a release clause of between €400-€500million. 

The centre-back would certainly help bolster a defence that has been plagued with injuries this season, making a grand total of 48 appearances for Sevilla during 2017-18, scoring four goals in the process.

'Mundo Deportivo' also insist that Lenglet's transfer would be independent of Barcelona trying to negotiate a new contract with current defender Samuel Umtiti.
