The French club's president Aulas revealed the Ligue 1 side has granted permission for the France international defender to leave if his preferred next club – the Liga champion – comes in with a suitable offer.

Bartomeu confirmed the Catalan giant is closing in on the 22 year-old, but, according to the Barca president, personal terms will not be discussed until Les Bleus' involvement in UEFA EURO 2016 on home soil comes to an end.

"We have an agreement with OL for Umtiti for a fixed €25million without variables," Bartomeu said. "There is still a deal to be done with the player. We'll do it when he is finished participating in the Euro because he is focused.

"But since Aulas made it official, I confirm that the agreement between clubs is true."

Umtiti is yet to appear at the European Championship for Didier Deschamps' side, which faces Iceland in the quarter-finals on Monday (AEST).
