The French defender is wanted in France and also in Turkey by Besiktas

Barcelona want to cut players from their squad before La Liga begins. They have various offers and the latest news is that they want to drop Samuel Umtiti. The sporting departure of the club have told him of offers from Turkey and France. Besiktas want him and would pay a large part of his salary, while Nice and Monaco have interest in his homeland.

Umtiti has not wanted to leave the club but Ronald Koeman has told him he is not needed. He will be the lowest-ranked centre back option.

The defender was looking for a top club to leave to but those options are not on the table. If he stays at Barca he often won’t even make it into the squad.

He is fit in pre-season but Barcelona want him out because of his salary. Last season he rejected leaving, now he will if he gets to keep his high salary.
