According to sports daily Sport, Barca want to terminate Samuel Umtiti’s contract as soon as possible. The Blaugrana are not sensitive to the sporting progress of their defender, nor to the possibility of recovering a few cents in a transfer. Always on the limit regarding their finances and payroll, Barça prefers to free themselves from the player’s contract and save their important salary. Umtiti is engaged until 2026 with Barcelona and receives 20 million euros net per year!
At 29 and without an immediate sporting future at Barça, Samuel Umtiti could easily accept this outcome, even if he would necessarily give up on a large part of his salary. This would allow him to sign wherever he wants this summer and especially at OL, his training club where his friends Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso play. John Textor can have a smile if this is confirmed, he can then calmly conduct negotiations with the player for a possible summer transfer.
