Barcelona star player Samuel Umtiti has been linked with a move away from the Camp Nou club after he emerged as a target for premier league heavyweights Manchester United.
It appears the talented player would become a Manchester United player at the end of this season, following reports Barcelona chiefs have accepted the possibility of selling him to Old Trafford when summer comes.
It was made known that the management at Camp Nou have decided to replace Umtiti with Sevilla defender Clement Lenglet.
Samuel has been impressive at Barcelona and has evolved into one of the most important members of the club.
But Manchester United are reportedly ready to activate the £52million release clause in his contract – which prompted Barca to begin searching for a good replacement for the Frenchman.
And according to reports, the La Liga heavyweights have decided bto bringLenglet to Camp Nou to fill any void meant to be opened by Samuel’s departure.
Lenglet has a £26M release clause in his current contract at Sevilla. And of course, this price should be no issue for a club like Barcelona.
Although he’s currently struggling with form at Barcelona, Umtiti remains a fantastic player who will add quality to whichever club he moves to.
