Barcelona pushing Umtiti towards Arsenal, Man Utd with price slashed

Barcelona are desperate to find a buyer for Samuel Umtiti, it has been revealed.

Having quoted interested clubs as high as €85m a year ago, Umtiti's price has plummeted to where Barca would be willing to sell the World Cup winner for a knockdown €32m.

Umtiti has been linked with Arsenal and Manchester United, but there are concerns over his knee problems, says AS. The France defender first suffered an injury to his knee in November, 2018, and has battled to recover.

Umtiti has a deal to 2023 and Barca are eager to sell as they seek to cover the hole in their finances left by the coronavirus suspension.

The 26 year-old famously visited Arsenal's Emirates stadium on New Year's day to see their defeat to United.
