SER Catalunya: Umtiti stays

As reported by the journalist Sique Rodríguez from SER Catalunya, Samuel Umtiti will continue at Barça. The club has spoken with the player, who does not want to move, and has ruled out opting for the Matheus route, that is, the direct dismissal of the player.

Umtiti, castled for days, You have not found offers that satisfy you sportingly or financially and he is convinced that the physical effort he has put in this summer will pay off. The French believes that, despite his chronic problems in his left knee, he may have a place ahead of other center-backs.

For Barça, and especially for Mateu Alemany, it is an important blow in planning. The termination of Umtiti was one of his jobs this summer, almost above a pay cut for captains that he knew he would achieve under popular pressure.
