Man City ahead of Chelsea, Man Utd in push for unhappy Barcelona defender Umtiti

Premier League intermediaries are convinced Samuel Umtiti can be prised away from Barcelona.

The France World Cup winner has battled for regular football this season due to injuries and the impressive form of Clement Lenglet.

And L'Equipe says Chelsea, Manchester United and, above all, Manchester City are monitoring the Frenchman's situation. Whether the trio will take concrete steps is unclear for now.

This season, the 26-year-old has managed just five appearances for Barca. His contract with the Catalans runs until 2023.

Umiti joined Barca two years ago from Lyon.
