Barcelona may allow defender Samuel Umtiti to move to Manchester United this summer in order to free up funds for Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt, reports say.
The Daily Mail say Barca want to add De Ligt to their squad, but he would cost €85m - the same as they paid Ajax in January for Frenkie de Jong.
So the club are reportedly open to offers tor Umtiti, with United apparently set to scout the French international on Monday night against Iceland.
United have also been linked with De Ligt, who scored for the Netherlands on Sunday in their defeat to Germany.
Umtiti, 25, may be cheaper than De Ligt - especially considering his injury problems this season - but the report adds that Barcelona players may not be happy with the popular defender leaving the Nou Camp.

Meanwhile, any hopes United may have had of signing Barca midfielder Ivan Rakitic are reportedly under threat as it is reported the Croatian midfielder will be offered a new contract.
AS (via Sky Sports) claim the midfielder will be rewarded with a new deal at the club after manager Ernesto Valverde insisted Rakitic would remain at the club as part of the contract he signed himself last month.
Finally, United will face intense competition from Arsenal and Tottenham if they are to sign Joachim Andersen this summer.
CalcioMercato suggest the 22-year-old could be allowed to leave Sampdoria this summer but it remains to be seen where he would move to.
Centre-back Andersen has been a regular for his club this season, and received his first call-up to the Denmark squad for this month's international fixtures.
