The 22 year old centre back was a target for Chelsea as well.
According to L’Equipe, the Spanish champions will pay Lyon a fee of around 30 million Euros for the defender and Umtiti will sign a five year contract with Barcelona once the Euros are over.
Both clubs have been in negotiations for the last three weeks according to L’Equipe’s report and a conclusion has been reached now.
Umtiti is one of the best young centre backs in Europe right now and would be a tremendous addition to Luis Enrique’s side.
