Barcelona want to offload both Philippe Coutinho and Samuel Umtiti during the January transfer window, according to a report.

Barcelona are reportedly determined to offload both Philippe Coutinho and Samuel Umtiti in January.

The Catalan giants are believed to have held a crisis meeting on Thursday following their exit from the group stage of the Champions League, and the club's winter business was said to have been discussed.

Frenkie de Jong, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Sergino Dest are allegedly available for transfer at the start of 2022, as Barcelona look to make room for new signings.

However, according to Sport, the club are also desperate to move both Coutinho and Umtiti on, with neither player in the plans of head coach Xavi moving forward.

The report claims that Umtiti could leave on loan, although Barcelona are also prepared to agree to a contract termination with the Frenchman, who has not played a single minute of first-team football this season.

The La Liga outfit are also said to be keen to shift Coutinho, with the Brazil international on a high salary at Camp Nou, but the attacker allegedly has no desire to leave in January.

Barcelona will be looking to bounce back from Wednesday's 3-0 defeat at Bayern Munich in the Champions League when they resume their La Liga campaign away to Osasuna on Sunday.
