Recent reports from Spain believe that there is growing concern regarding Samuel Umtiti’s future at Camp Nou, and with Thomas Vermaelen also expected to depart, Ernesto Valverde’s squad is about to thin out.

France U21 international Diop has a €25m price tag, fit for his 85 first-team appearance and growing reputation as a key member of Toulouse’s defence.

However, Barcelona officials are reportedly even more interested in 21-year-old Kehrer, who has recently surpassed 50 first-team appearances for the Bundesliga powerhouse.
