Umtiti's move to Rennes now 'complicated' for one reason

As reported by Diario Sport's Josep Capdevila and confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, Rennes have doubts regarding the transfer of Samuel Umtiti. The move is now deemed 'complicated' despite the talks being advanced.

Their coach Bruno Genesio likes the defender but has doubts regarding Umtiti's physical condition.

Those doubts are more than justified. The Frenchman has been dealing with serious injuries for the last four seasons. Last term, the 28-year-old played just one single game.

Meanwhile, Barcelona are desperate to ship Samuel off and are ready to let him go for free. However, even these lax terms aren't enough to convince other clubs.
