Serie A giants closely monitoring Umtiti, Barca open to the move - multiple reports

According to Calciomercatoweb (3 stars), AC Milan are following Samuel Umtiti's performances at Lecce and are considering a summer move.

The Rossoneri have gotten positive reports on the Frenchman's fitness levels and believe that he could become an important player at San Siro. However, they want Umtiti to sign for free.

As for Barcelona, they want to get rid of Big Sam's wages and want to terminate his contract in the summer, Diario Sport's Lluis Miguelsanz (4 stars) reports. This would facilitate his move to Milan.

Despite his good performances, the Catalans rule out the 29-year-old's return to the club.

This term so far, Umtiti has made 12 appearances for Lecce and has mostly been free of injuries.
