Man City eye Barcelona defender

Man City are willing to pay €60m to sign Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti, reports L’Equipe. It is believed City boss Pep Guardiola is on the hunt for a new centre back and Umtiti is on his shortlist. Umtiti’s buyout clause at Barca is set at €60m and City feel a deal for the Frenchman would be feasible. Barca need to improve the 23-year-old’s contract in order to keep hold of him as they would have to do so to increase his buyout clause.
