Defender Samuel Umtiti is reportedly unlikely to leave Barcelona during the next transfer window.

Barcelona reportedly intend to keep defender Samuel Umtiti at Camp Nou for next season.

With the centre-back having struggled to hold down a place in the starting lineup, partly due to injury, it has been suggested that the Catalan giants will look to cash in on his services during the upcoming transfer window.

However, despite Barcelona's desire to raise funds for other players, Marca claims that the World Cup winner is likely to remain at the club.

The report suggests that head coach Quique Setien would rather keep the 26-year-old in his plans than use the money generated from any sale for a fresh face.

Since Setien's arrival in January, Umtiti has made eight appearances in all competitions, which includes five starts in La Liga.

Juventus, Inter Milan and a number of clubs in the Premier League have been suggested as potential destinations.
