FC Barcelona is looking for a solution in the case of Samuel Umtiti. The French does not want to terminate the contract with her.
There is no room for Umtiti in Barcelona anymore. The French has no chance of playing for Xavi’s team. While there was interest, the inquiries were rejected.
– Several clubs asked Umtiti to participate in physical tests. Both Barcelona and the footballer refused. This was considered disrespectful. The athlete is completely healed. He hopes to be able to leave – writes “Sport”.
Barcelona helps Umtiti in his search for a club. She is able to release him from the club on a free transfer basis. The footballer does not accept this solution yet. His contract is valid until mid-2026.
In this situation, it is most realistic to loan a French defender. Barcelona is even able to cover a certain proportion of his salary.
Rennes had asked about Umtiti in recent weeks, but eventually chose a different defender. It is possible that he will eventually return to Olympique Lyonnais.
– Barcelona’s sports division believes that the efforts made by the player in the search for a new club should be appreciated. For now, however, no luck. Umtiti himself realizes that he should leave sooner – concludes “Sport”.
