Olympiakos are moving for Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti.

ESPN says Olympiacos representatives will travel to Barcelona on Monday to try and secure a loan deal for Umtiti.

Nothing is sealed but it's an opportunity for Barcelona to do something they have not managed before, in moving the defender on.

Umtiti was close to signing for Rennes but doubts over his physical condition meant the Ligue 1 side pulled out of a deal.

He would like to go back to his homeland but there is more interest in Greece.
