Barcelona 'to sell three central defenders this summer'

Barcelona will reportedly make Clement Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti and Oscar Mingueza available for transfer during this summer's window.

The Catalan giants are believed to be close to reaching an agreement with Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen, while his teammate Cesar Azpilicueta also continues to be linked with a move to Camp Nou.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona plan to sign two new central defenders, which will lead to Lenglet, Umtiti and Mingueza all being surplus to requirements.

Lenglet, 26, has been restricted to 16 appearances in all competitions this season, and a number of Premier League clubs are said to be interested in his services.

Umtiti, meanwhile, signed a new contract in January, but the 28-year-old has only played once this season and will allegedly be available for transfer ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

Mingueza has made 21 appearances for Barcelona this season, but he has struggled for action since Xavi's arrival as head coach, and the Spaniard is also said to be surplus to requirements at Camp Nou.
