The defender leaving the training pitches after a hard day of workouts. He'll be driving home in his luxury sedan.

Born in Beauvais, Oise, France, he started at youth academies around the age of 6; there were spells at Montchevreuil and Chantily, before he joined the youth setup at AS Nancy in 2010. After progressing through the youth ranks he made his Ligue 2 debut for Les Chardons on 27 September 2013, coming on as a substitute in a goalless draw at home against AC Arles-Avignon. In the 2015/16 Ligue 2 campaign, the defender made 34 appearances and formed part of the defence that was instrumental in AS Nancy being crowned second division champions. On 25 April, he scored from a Benoît Pedretti corner kick to give AS Nancy a 1-0 win over Sochaux, winning his team promotion to Ligue 1. On 4 January 2017, the Frenchman moved abroad to Spain, signing for La Liga club Sevilla for a fee of €5 million. He made his debut a week later in a 3-3 draw against Real Madrid in the round-of-16 tie of the Copa del Rey. On 15 January he made his La Liga debut against Real Madrid, this time a 2-1 win ensued at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium. On 12 July 2018, FC Barcelona triggered his release clause to secure the services of the French centre-back for €35 million. His debut match was against his old club Sevilla, as Barcelona ran out 2-1 winners in the final of the Supercopa de España. The Frenchman ended his first season with Barcelona with 45 appearances and a La Liga winner's medal.
