Barcelona management have no plans to lose Samuel Umtiti at the end of this season, it has been revealed.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery admitted his admiration for the France defender last week amid talk of the Gunners planning a move this summer.

However, Barca insiders are adamant there's no boardroom push to sell Umtiti.

A source told L'Equipe: "Sam will stay because our desire is that he continues with Barça and he will come back 100%."

Umtiti is tied to Barca to 2023 with a buyout clause of €500m.
