Barça awaits Umtiti's arrival in the coming hours to conclude his transfer

Samuel Umtiti is now available to complete his move from Olympique Lyonnais to Barça after the conclusion of Euro 2016 on Sunday night.

SPORT reported a few days ago that the Blaugrana expect to complete the formalities of the deal on July 12 before the 22-year-old is officially presented at the Camp Nou.

Umtiti must also complete his medical before signing his five-year contract with his new club.

The Frenchman will then go on holiday before preparing for pre-season, but he won't participate in any training sessions or games until August at the earliest.

Umtiti made 170 appearances for Lyon in five seasons and became a mainstay in France's defence towards the end of Euro 2016, but Les Bleus finished the tournament as runners-up after losing 1-0 to Portugal in the final.
