Spanish press reports revealed that Barcelona is close to getting rid of the defender’s headache, during the current summer market, after a long period of failed attempts.
And the Catalan newspaper, Sport, confirmed that Barcelona club leaders were able to obtain the approval of French defender Samuel Umtiti to leave on loan during the current summer market, after the player rejected all the club’s attempts to agree on the starting stage.
The newspaper added, that the French defender has specific conditions to leave Barcelona on loan, most notably that he wants to choose his fate, as he aspires to join a club that participates in the Champions League and fights for titles.
Barcelona will have to dispense with a series of first-team players in the club, to provide an economic balance between salaries and income, to sign the new contract for Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi.
The management of the Catalan giant plans to empty the first football team of several players, outside the accounts of Ronald Koeman, in addition to receiving huge annual salaries.
The Barcelona administration strongly wishes the departure of French defender Samuel Umtiti from the club’s first team before the start of the Blaugrana’s preparations for the new season.
And the Spanish newspaper, “Mundo Deportivo”, reported that the Barcelona administration informed Samuel Umtiti that the team does not need his services, seeking to terminate his contract by mutual agreement with the Blaugrana.
But the newspaper’s report indicated that the player refuses to leave, sticking to the continuation of his contract with the Spanish giant, despite his departure from the team coach Ronald Koeman’s accounts completely.
