Samuel Umtiti, the 'covered' after the frustrated arrival of Eric García

Eric García is, from does months, the big aim of the FC Barcelona. The Catalan defence finish the next month of June hire with the Manchester City and will arrive to the Camp Nou free in summer, although the Barcelona club tried to advance his arrival. Finally, there was not consensus with the candidates and the Catalan did not arrive, although luckily it has appeared Samuel Umtiti.

Since in 2018 had his problems of knee, Samuel Umtiti had not attained to have continuity in the team neither show a performance that approached to the that had showed after his pertinent arrival of the Olympique of Lyon. However, in the last parties has improved a lot his provision and even has won the titularity.

It is necessary to take into account the problems of effective that has the FC Barcelona in the defence, with Gerard Hammered lesionado from the month of November and with Clément Lenglet that incomprensiblemente has gone down a lot the level. With Ronald Araújo like indisputable from the injury of the Catalan, Samuel Umtiti has gone in with strength in the equation.

In fact, the last parties of Samuel Umtiti with the FC Barcelona have been frankly acceptable, standing out especially in the demanding party of LaLiga Santander against the Athletic Club of Bilbao. The frank-Cameroonian was especially solvent in spite of having in in front of forwards so difficult to mark like Iñaki Williams or Raúl García.

It was as it was, Samuel Umtiti is doing to forget to the barcelonismo the frustrated arrival of Eric García. In summer, the Catalan will arrive to turn into an important player but, until entondes, the frank-Cameroonian will be an important option for Ronald Koeman. His last parties confirm him like an alternative of weight.

The revaluation of Samuel Umtiti

The fact that Samuel Umtiti was giving an acceptable performance during the last weeks is interesting to sportive level, but also hopeful to economic level. The frank-Cameroonian has a high wage and the FC Barcelona wishes to rid of his index card by what, if it follows having continuity and playing to good level, to the club culé will be him much easier 'plant him' in summer.
