The year 2018 has begun with a new study of the Observatory of the Football CIES, that describes to the players of the big European leagues according to his value of market. Between the 100 more expensive footballers of the world there is some surprise, and several good news for the FC Barcelona. Samuel Umtiti already is the most important defence of the planet.

In a ránking dominated by forwards and midfield players, the central occupies the 25º place, with a valuation estimated in 101,5 million euros. As usually desgrana, the analysis bases in criteria like the age, the position, the length of the agreement, the moment of form or the status of international.

The Barcelona heads the list of the defenders above mates illustrate -and more expensive in the reality- as John Stones (93,7 millions, #33), Kyle Walker (87,1 millions, #42), Nicolás Otamendi (84,8 millions, #47), Antonio Rüdiger (75,4 millions, #54) or Marquinhos (71,8 millions, #59).

Desfasado

Precisely, one of the conclusions that several means have aimed on the study is that it goes back to indicate that the clause of rescission of Umtiti is entirely obsolete. The Barça paid 25 millions by his traspaso does a year and half, and fixed it in 60 'kilos', what has done that several teams pose seriously his incorporation.

Varied of the previously quoted defences already cost much more that the Frenchman, by what the option to do with his services by this price begins to contemplate like a bargain given his performance in the Camp Nou. The player is convinced to be still in the City Condal, but suits to not to sleep in the laurels to avoid discontents.
