    Roma, Spurs target ready to agree to Barcelona move

    It looks like AS Roma will have to prolong their search for a central defender to line up alongside Kostas Manolas. 

    Despite all of Walter Sabatini's hard work- not to mention interest from EPL hopefuls Tottenham- it appears that Samuel Umtiti is ready to accept Barcelona's offer for his services. 

    The Lyon defender has been a Roma target for a while, and it was with some disappointment that the Giallorossi were informed of the news by Lyon's president, Jean-Michel Aulas. 

    With Antonio Rudiger attracting a lot of interest from all over Europe (especially Chelsea), Francesco Totti's club is looking to hedge its bets in case it were to sell the German international for a huge payday. 

    Umtiti is also a last-minute addition to France's 23-man squad, following Jeremy Mathieu's injury.
