Samuel Umtiti will reportedly tell Barcelona that he has no interest terminating his contract this summer.

Samuel Umtiti will reportedly tell Barcelona that he has no interest in coming to an agreement over a compensation package to allow him to leave the club on a free transfer this summer.

The 27-year-old only made 16 appearances for Ronald Koeman's side last season and has been strongly linked with a move away from Camp Nou over the last few months.

A recent report claimed that Barcelona had offered to release Umtiti from his contract this summer, as the Catalan outfit desperately attempt to reduce their wage bill.

The centre-back would be entitled to a compensation package, as his deal still has two years left to run, but according to Marca, the Frenchman is not interested in leaving on a free transfer.

The report claims that Umtiti is open to moving on this summer but still hopes to be given the chance to prove his worth to Koeman during pre-season.

The Frenchman, who has been linked with a move to the Premier League, has featured on 132 occasions for Barcelona since joining the club from Lyon in July 2016.
