Ronald Koeman has admitted he does not count on Samuel Umtiti and is open to selling the Frenchman. Speaking to the media about the defender and Miralem Pjanic, the Barcelona manager said:
"There are players like them who have a very difficult time having minutes, but the final decision is always on the part of the players. They have a complicated position, yes."

Gerard Pique takes wage cut to help Barcelona
Ahead of the season opener in LaLiga, Gerard Pique took a massive wage cut to help Barcelona register new signings. Eric Garcia and Memphis Depay managed to play for the Catalan side after they were allowed to be registered by the league.
Speaking to the media about wage cuts, Pique confirmed more players were in talks with the club. He revealed Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto and Sergio Busquets were set to be the next players to accept a wage cut.
"[The pay cut] is what I had to do, I think. I want to stress that we've been in contact with the other captains over the pay cut and I know they'll take the same step shortly, it's just a question of timing.
"I had to be the first to do it quickly, because of the registration issue. But this is a family, we're all together, the captains have all had the intention from the first moment to adjust to what the club needed, and that's the decision we've taken and we're proud of it."
Barcelona face Getafe this weekend before the players split for the international break.
