Barca keeping tabs on Diop for past few years

Spanish giants Barcelona have made contact with Toulouse centre back Issa Diop to know about his future plans as they could move for him this summer.

Future of Samuel Umtiti and Thomas Vermaelen are still uncertain ahead of the transfer window. Barcelona would like to keep hold of Umtiti who has been a dominant force at the back for club but the Frenchman has demanded a huge wage increase. The club may be forced to look for alternatives if they deem his demands are unreasonable.

Umtiti has a a £50 million release clause and many top clubs including Manchester United are willing to pay it, with Jose Mourinho interested in him and wants to bring him this summer.

With Vermaelen also likely to leave, Barcelona may look towards Diop. Ernesto Valverde’s side have spoken to Diop in the past few days to gauge his situation, according to Sport. Barcelona have tracked the 21 year old for the past few years, who is valued at around €25 million.

Barcelona are also keeping tabs on RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano and Thilo Kehler from Schalke.

Whether Barcelona will move for Diop or any other defender solely depends on if Umtiti decides to stay the club ahead of the summer transfer window.
