Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal make contact for Barcelona defender Umtiti

That is according to a report in Diario Sport, who say that all three Premier League clubs are looking for a left-sided central defender and there are not many options in the transfer market.

However, it is claimed that the Spanish champions are fearful that the player will not be able to command a big transfer fee, partly due to the economic damage of the coronavirus pandemic.

This report follows on from a similar one in Diario Sport last month, which said that the Gunners had been put ‘on alert’ by the news that Umtiti may be available for transfer.
