Samuel Umtiti confirms he has offers to leave Barcelona
The centre-back said there are proposals from "various clubs"
Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti admitted he has offers to leave the club. "The truth is that there's interest from various clubs," he told the show Canal Football Club, before saying that talks have not begun over a new deal at Camp Nou.
It confirms the exclusive information revealed by SPORT last week.
"It's not a matter I am going to get into (renewing), nothing's begun from my side," he added. "Maybe there's interest (on Barça's side), but for the moment nothing has started."
On offers from elsewhere, he said "there's interest from other clubs," although he added that he has "many objectives to fulfill with Barça. In this world, everything goes so quickly." Umtiti said he's "very proud" and "happy" to be at the Catalan club.
He also spoke about his 60 million euros buyout clause: "It's not very big, everyone knows that. But it's not something that interests or worries me. I am focused on the pitch, that's what I enjoy. The rest will come."
On Barça interest in signing Antoine Griezmann, he joked: "I got myself into agent mode! No, I'm kidding.
"It's true that we talk about it a lot. I was able to talk about it with him, but just to find out what he thinks of my club. But everyone thinks good things about it. It makes them dream. Players of that level… If he comes, we'd have to play with six forwards."
