The latest news and transfer rumours from the European press as Manchester United are reportedly willing to meet Samuel Umtiti’s release clause.
Our friends at Football Whispers have scoured the continental press to bring you the latest transfer rumours.
Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti is unhappy with his current contract at the Camp Nou, which includes a £53m release clause. Lionel Messi’s recent new deal means the Catalan giants’ wage budget is already stretched.
If they are unable to offer Umtiti what he is looking for, Jose Mourinho is waiting in the wings, ready to activate the Frenchman’s release clause to take him to Manchester United. (Don Balon)
One man who could be on his way out of Old Trafford is David de Gea. The Spanish goalkeeper, a long-time Real Madrid transfer target, has told friends that Mourinho is willing to let him leave for the Bernabeu at the end of the season, provided Madrid offer German midfielder Toni Kroos in exchange.

Luka Modric will leave Real Madrid this summer if Los Blancos secure a third successive Champions League title this term. The former Tottenham playmaker has offers from Italy, but Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is also monitoring the situation. (Don Balon)
