Man Utd dealt transfer blow as Barca could raise Umtiti release clause to €250m
No secret the Red Devils have set their sights on the talented centre defender who is in talks with his current club to sign a new deal.
Umtiti’s contract expires in June 2021 but the biggest problem of the player’s deal is that it includes a release clause of € 60 million.
According to several reports Manchester United would be open to match the player’s release clause in the summer and that’s why Barcelona are in a rush to make the player sign a new deal.
Mundo Deportivo reports the player has already rejected Barcelona’s contract offer twice but the blaugrana are determined to make the player sign a new deal as soon as possible.
Contacts between the two clubs are ongoing and Barcelona will soon make a fresh offer to the France defender trying to raise his release clause to € 250 million.
