According to Sport, Manchester United will lodge a bid for Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti as contract talks with the Catalans continue to stall.
The Red Devils are desperate to bolster their defence with a stellar centre-back after Victor Lindelof struggled for form earlier on the season. Daley Blind and Marcos Rojo don’t look to have a future past this summer either. Jose Mourinho is a big fan of the 14-cap defender.
Umtiti won’t come cheap, however, with the French international having a release clause of £54m. He’s currently in talks with Barcelona over a new deal but wants £154k-per-week, what Manchester United are offering, otherwise he may considering leaving the Camp Nou.
