AC Monza are making a move for Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti.
After an outstanding six months on-loan with Lecce last season, Umtiti is again on the agenda of major European clubs.
A return to Lyon has been mooted for the France international.
However, Monza are also keen to bring Umtiti back to Serie A for the new season and have the spending power to match OL on contract terms.
Sport says Umtiti will be available on a free transfer as Barca negotiate a contract payoff with the player's representatives.
