Umtiti's release clause is a problem for Barca

Jose Mourinho is apparently a huge fan of Samuel Umtiti and will activate his clause should he give them the green signal about leaving Barcelona, claim reports from Don Balon. The Frenchman has a release clause of €60 million and wants a pay hike in order to increase it.

Meanwhile, both Manchester United and Manchester City want Toni Kroos. In another report from the same website, it is claimed that Jose Mourinho wants to get one over Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who reportedly loves Kroos, by bringing the German to Old Trafford. Notably, Raphael Varane is another player Mourinho wants.

Finally, Pep Guardiola has been informed that Luka Modric will leave Real Madrid after the end of the season as he believes that his time at Madrid is up, says Don Balon.
