Lenglet is Barca's second signing of the summer after they captured midfielder Arthur Melo.
The deal means Barca now have five centre backs on their books, with Lenglet joining Gerard Pique, Samuel Umtiti, Yerry Mina and Thomas Vermaelen.
And Ernesto Valverde is still looking to add to his squad before the end of the window. The Spanish champions have launched a second bid of £60m for Chelsea winger Willian.

Sportsmail revealed last month that Chelsea had rejected a £50m offer from the Spanish side.
But Ernesto Valverde has returned with an improved figure which is certain to test Chelsea's resolve as he looks to add an extra dimension to his attack this summer.
It is understood that the La Liga giants have tabled a £55m offer for the player with a further £5m in add-ons.
