Barcelona are reportedly open to allowing Samuel Umtiti to leave Camp Nou for free this summer in a bid to reduce their wage bill.

Samuel Umtiti may reportedly be allowed to leave Barcelona on a free transfer later in the summer window.

Despite making 116 appearances during his four years at Camp Nou, the World Cup winner has recently found himself down the pecking order due to injuries.

In a bid to improve their financial situation, it has been suggested that the Catalan giants are happy to cash in on the France international over the coming weeks.

However, according to Cadena Ser, Barcelona are yet to receive a formal offer for the 26-year-old, throwing up the possibility of the player departing on a free transfer.

Although Umtiti could still play a part in Ronald Koeman's first season, he does not feature in the long-term plans of the recently-appointed Dutchman.

Umtiti, who still has three years left on his contract, is said to be willing to fight for his place at the La Liga club.
