Lyon risk pricing Umtiti out of Barcelona move

Lyon have slapped a huge price-tag on Barcelona target Samuel Umtiti.

OL informed Barca that they want 32 million euros for the player, says Sport.

The positions of all parties involved are defined: Umtiti wants to leave Lyon, Barça are interested in the player and the French club require a figure seen as too excessive by the Blaugrana.

"We have been clear that we don't want to sell Samuel," Lyon coach Bruno Genesio said on Thursday, "When a player has a desire [to leave] it's very difficult to resist but it's clear that he's a Lyon player and, for now, will remain so."
