Although Umtiti is under contract until 2021, Barca opened talks over a new deal early to try to head off interest from a host of top European clubs, including United. Nou Camp officials know they risk losing Umtiti his summer if they cannot agree new terms, with United confident they use the contract stand-off to their advantage to land the player. Barcelona fear they will lose defender Umtiti and have drawn up a list of replacements, according to Sport. He has caught the eye of Barcelona chiefs and the La Liga leaders could make their move if Umtiti moves on.
