Inter Milan will attempt sign Barcelona centre-back Samuel Umtiti in this summer's transfer window, according to a report.

Inter Milan will reportedly attempt to sign Barcelona centre-back Samuel Umtiti at the end of the season.

The France international has made over 100 appearances for the Spanish champions since arriving in 2016 but has struggled with a troublesome knee problem since the start of the 2018-19 campaign.

The 26-year-old has started both of Barca's two La Liga matches under new head coach Quique Setien, although the defender's future at Camp Nou is believed to be far from secure.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Inter have identified the 2018 World Cup winner as their leading transfer target ahead of this summer's transfer window.

The report claims that Antonio Conte wants Umtiti as a replacement for Diego Godin, who arrived at the San Siro from Atletico Madrid ahead of the current season.

Umtiti has featured on 10 occasions in all competitions for Barca during the 2019-20 campaign.
