There are reports that Juventus have an agreement with Barcelona to sign Manchester United target Samuel Umtiti which will allow Matthijs de Ligt to move to the Camp Nou.

The World Cup winner has a contract with the La Liga leaders until 2023 but, partly due to injuries, has fallen behind Clement Lenglet this term.

Juventus are determined to re-invigorate their ageing defence especially with the retirement of Andrea Barzagli at the end of the season.

The Cameroon-born defender, who joined from Lyon in 2016, has formed a formidable central defensive partnership with Gerard Pique at the Camp Nou.

However, according to Diario AS, the Blaugrana are keen on a deal for Ajax captain and central defender de Ligt and reportedly need to raise funds in order to further first-team reinvestment.

The emergence of Clement Lenglet and the pursuit of de Ligt has clouded his future at Barca, who, as claimed by Football Espana, need to raise funds from first-team squad sales in order to add new signings.

Juve were also said to be keen to sign de Ligt but this agreement between the clubs would reportedly satisfy all parties with an amicable solution.
