Arsenal handed big boost as Barcelona is ready to sell

The North London outfit have been handed the chances of securing their dream move of France international Samuel Umtiti from the Spanish La Liga outfit Barcelona in the coming summer transfer window.

Samuel Umtiti has been inconsistent for the Spanish side since the start of the season with injuries which have reduced his importance in the team and they are ready to let him go with Arsenal interested.

The North London outfit will also face competition from their Premier League rivals Man United with claims that Barcelona have resulted to selling for the highest bidder and they could ask for an amount as high as £60 million for his signature.

• Why Mourinho is to blame for United injury crisis

Before his injuries, Samuel Umtiti is known to be a very fantastic player and had impressed with the Barcelona team. His quality was also not hidden as he contributed to helping the France national team win the World Cup.

Both Arsenal and Man United are keen to land defenders in the coming summer window, ahead of next season but the fee by Barcelona could be the stumbling block for the Gunners as they might not be able to beat the Red Devils for the price.

However, it is claimed that the Gunners will not be discouraged but will move in for an offer at the end of the season.
