It's another thing if they pay the release clause, then any player can leave."For now, Lenglet is our player, he did medical tests on Tuesday with the rest of the team and, as things stand, will go to Benidorm with the rest of the players for pre-season. "There will be no negotiating because we don't want to negotiate."While Caparros has been curt in his response to questions regarding Lenglet's future, it is understood that Sevilla have already been scouting for replacements, with Florian Lejeune of Newcastle and Gianmarco Ferrari of Sampdoria on their shortlist. Manchester United had also been credited with an interest in the Frenchman, but have been forced to turn their attention elsewhere following Barcelona's pursuit of the defender.</blockquote>
