The defender has begun preseason training under new coach Pablo Machín as he waits for Barcelona to make their move

Sevilla's central defender, Clement Lenglet, has trained as normal with his current side as he continues to wait for Barcelona to finalise his move to the Camp Nou.

After passing his medical with Sevilla, Lenglet took part in the first preseason training session under new coach Pablo Machin.

This is exactly what Sevilla's director of football, Joaquin Caparros, said would happen if no agreement was made.

Lenglet has agreed a deal with Barcelona but Sevilla, via their president Jose Castro, say the Frenchman isn't for sale and will only leave the club if someone deposits his buyout clause with the league.

The amount that Lenglet needs to pay Sevilla in order to be released from his contract is €35m. 10% of this, €3.5m, will go to his old club Nancy for costs related to the player's development as a footballer.
