According to Dario de Sevilla, Sevilla knows that Lenglet is joining Barcelona and will make it official on Monday.

Where is se queda when we actually needed it? Never shows up in clutch times.

another safe liga acclimated signing.. they havent learned anything from the vidals and the turans.. truth is when we looked at the bundesliga and the ligue1 we niched a world class player and good keeper for pennies.

We've gotten plenty of good players alongside the duds from La Liga.

I don’t think he’s meant to be a nailed on starter right away.

Pique has his spot nice and safe and if Sam reaches his top form again he's an absolute beast so unless Umtiti continues like his last months at Barca Lenglet wouldn't have a real chance to start. Since he is left footed i don't see him at Piques spot anyway in the long run, hope we get his replacement next year. Maybe even De Jong could do it, played very good as a CB for Ajax.
I would be ok if Lenglet turns out like Paco, on CB its not important to be a good sub for difficult games so its mostly for rotations and injuries and having a solid player in the back as a 3rd CB is all we need. Of course it would be nice of he turns out challenging our starters but i don't see that as impprtant as in attack/midfield especially since the one who would need the challenge is Pique who will not get benchend by Ernesto the coward anyway.

To me this transfer doesn't make very much sense. We don't want to rely on Vermaelen, I get that, but Lenglet isn't very young, he hasn't showed top-quality and he isn't a once-in-a-generation barca-style player.
My guess is that this an ad hoc buy, because Arthur is suddenly coming in the summer (while previously thought to be impossible) and we therefore have 3 non-EU spots occupied.
We don't want to bet on Vermaelen (and we shouldn't), therefore we need another meh-quality CB, because in the end we hope that Mina will explode. I somewhat hope that Paulinho gets sold because we can't refuse a big offer, and we buy a replacement for him instead, while keeping Mina. Then Vermaelen can be replaced by a talented youngster like De Ligt this summer or next year.
