Doubts grow: Samuel Umtiti remains 'unprecedented' at Lecce

The stage of Samuel Umtiti in the FC Barcelona came to an end during the past summer. The French footballer was one of the big victims of the defence of the square directed by Xavi Hernández, those who incorporated to Andreas Christensen and Jules Koundé like reinforcements for the central saga. By this reason, the one of Yaundé, whose participation in the last seasons was totally testimonial, changed of 'airs' in the end of the market.

The defender joined to the rows of the Barcelona group in the season 2016-2017 and his impact in the team was immediate. The Frenchman knew to do with a place in the eleven initial of the square and aimed to be a central of period for the institution culé. His performance in the World-wide of Russia 2018 was consagratoria and the expectations with him were by the 'skies', but the injuries had other plans for the footballer. The defender could not recover the good feelings after suffering problems in the knee during the season 2018-2019, and only contested 50 parties in 4 seasons.

Thus, the player took the decision, in group with the club, to look for a new destination with the end to go back to his best version. This stage was 'taken advantage of' by the Lecce, the one who presented as 'saviour' for Samuel in the last days of the market of signings. The Italians did with the services of the footballer to reinforce his defence and his arrival generated a lot of illusion in the local fans, but the things have not gone as it expected .

And it is that in the Series To already have contested 8 days and Umtiti follows 'unpublished'. The footballer has formed part of the last six announcements of his team, but still follows without going in to the terrains of game. Although it is true that the player was working in a plan of adaptation contrived by his club and his trainer, the doubts begin to grow around the French, since it does not leave to be curious that have not been taken in account by his technician even after the two weeks of international stop.

The structure of his cession

Like this then , 'Big Sam' continues in the ostracism in spite of that has been in the rows of Marco Baroni from recently more than a month. In this sense, is important to remember that the agreement of cession pactado between the Barça and the Lecce stipulates that the transalpinos do charge of a small part of his wage (thinks that is 10%) and that afterwards will go paying a series of bonus by meetings contested. However, it understands that his absence would have more than seeing with that his technician does not see him to 100% physically that with the subject of his emolumentos. It will remain for seeing that sucede in the weeks to come.
