Barcelona have reportedly generated no interest in Samuel Umtiti, despite offering out the defender.

Umtiti, who won the World Cup with France in 2018, has made a total of 133 appearances for the Catalan giants during his five-and-a-half years at the club.

However, very few of those outings have come during 2021, and the 28-year-old played his first match of the campaign on December 12.

Nevertheless, despite wanting to get the centre-back off their wage bill, Sport says that club officials have had no luck with attempting to attract offers.

The report claims that one club assumed that being offered Umtiti was "a joke", a combination of his high wages and injury problems putting them off.

Barcelona allegedly face the prospect of trying to agree a mutual termination of Umtiti's contract, which does not expire until 2023. body check tags ::
