The brother of Umtiti already "listens" to the FC Barcelona

The brother of Samuel Umtiti, Yannick, has conceded an interview to the French web page of "Eurosport", in which it has spoken on the possible signing of the player of the Olympique of Lyon by the FC Barcelona during the next weeks, when it finish the Eurocopa of France 2016, given the increasing interest of the Barcelona group in doing with the defender like reinforcement for the staff of Luis Enrique.

"When a club like the Barça positions , you listen it, is one of these clubs to which it is necessary to listen obligatoriamente, is a historical club", has recognised Yannick Umtiti, representative of his brother Samuel, although it has cleared that to day of today "have not received a concrete offer, there has not been contact, but yes know that the Lyon has been tanteado".

"When a club like the Barça positions , you listen it"

Yannick No descarta the course of Samuel Umtiti to the FC Barcelona, as long as all the parts agree. "The Lyon is not a club seller and Sam neither has asked to go out. He is not restless. But if the club is had to sell to Samuel and if the agreement can satisfy all parts...".

In this sense, to Yannick Umtiti does not scare him the big competition that can have Samuel in the FC Barcelona with Javier Mascherano and Jeremy Mathieu to form couple in the defensive saga with Gerard Hammered. "Samuel shows capacities and skills that coincide with the Catalan game. But this yes, would be a risk".

"Samuel will not go to the FC Barcelona to any price"

The Rome also would have showed interest in Samuel Umtiti of face to the next season, but Samuel Umtiti would not be too adherent to change the Olympique of Lyon by the picture "giallorossi". "The Rome is a club in the could fit the profile of Sam by his game, but that the project of the Rome was better that the one of the Lyon is not necessarily true".

"If it prefers the Barça? It does not have any preference, the conditions are more than optimum in Lyon. It is playing almost all the minutes, knows the house. But when a club like the Barça positions , you listen. But it will not go to the Barcelona to any cost. Especially because Jean-Michel Classrooms does not have planned his exit for the moment", explains Yannick.
