Barca working on Carrasco's transfer and Umtiti's departure

Barca are still waiting for La Liga to give the green light to their viability plan so that they can bring in players. The blaugranas know that they need to strengthen their squad for next season if they want to fight for as many titles as possible.

For the time being, Mateu Alemany, who has backed down and decided to stay at the club, has moved up a gear to try to get Belgian international Carrasco before the start of the pre-season tour of the United States.

This is what the newspaper 'Sport' reports, which points out that the club's plan is to pay less than the 18 million euros set in the purchase option: 10 million euros or the inclusion of a player to reduce the cost of the operation.

On the other hand, Barca are already working on Samuel Umtiti's departure. The Frenchman, on loan at Lecce, has improved his level and already has offers from Serie A - Inter, Milan, Roma and even Lecce - and also from Ligue 1, which is great news for the Catalan giants.

The defender has a contract until 2026 and his departure could further reduce the squad's wage bill. The player will have to make a decision at the end of the current season.
