Barcelona DESPERATE to sell defensive trio this week - Arsenal, Spurs in contact

Barcelona are inviting offers for defensive trio Clement Lenglet, Sergino Dest and Samuel Umtiti - and want to sell this week.

Sport says the Catalan giants find themselves in financial turmoil, leaving them in need of offloading players, and fast.

And defenders Lenglet, Dest and Umtiti could be gone in days rather than weeks should suitable bids be put on the table.

Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are interested in Lenglet with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich and Serie A champions Inter Milan monitoring Dest.

France international Umtiti has been linked with a move back to Lyon - the club he left to join Barcelona five years ago.

Barca are unable to register any of their new signings, including Sergio Aguero, Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia, because they have exceeded LaLiga's strict salary limit by 40 per cent.
