Vincenzo Montella's surprising reaction to Barca interest in Clement Lenglet
The coach highlighted the French defender's quality when asked about it
Vincenzo Montella, Sevilla coach, spoke about Barcelona's interest in Clement Lenglet.
"Lenglet is a champion in the head and on the pitch. He could play in the future for a big team like Barcelona but I hope he stays at Sevilla for a few years," said the Italian coach.
Montella did not confirm whether negotations between Barcelona and Lenglet, as revealed by Sport, were going ahead - coinciding with the meeting in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday between Barca and Sevilla.
Lenglet is in Sevilla's squad to face Depor on Tuesday.
