The coronavirus has affected gravely the economy of the big European clubs but, definitely, the FC Barcelona is one of which more affected has seen . The Catalan club has suffered an enormous hit in his liquidity that began in the stop that there was in the football the past month of March and that seems that it can dilate until it do not recover a normality that allow to reopen installations like the stadium, the shops or the museum.

Already it does several months that the FC Barcelona works to keep his own mantenibilidad economic. It did it in the first place with severe discounts salariales -the last will produce through the agreement to the that the club arrived with the players this month of November- and later with exits of players whose wages were too high as to be kept, like the cases of Luis Suárez, Arturo Vidal or Ivan Rakitic.

However, there was a player to the that wanted to him give exit as it went and whose course finally enquistó: the one of Samuel Umtiti. The French, with constant physical problems from 2018, did not go in in the plans of Ronald Koeman but, at the same time, has one of the highest index cards of all the staff: it costs him to the club some 12 million annual euros, a figure that does not square with his own performance.

According to the informations published by 'Calciomercato', the Juventus of Turín could be the solution to the problem of the FC Barcelona with Samuel Umtiti since, after the injury of Giorgio Chiellini, would contemplate seriously the possibility to do with the frank-Cameroonian.

The Barcelona club would lighten a very important part of the mass salarial and, in this way, would make possible the arrival of signings considered prioritarios by Ronald Koeman like Eric García (Manchester City) or Memphis Depay (Olympique of Lyon) without having to sell important pieces like Ousmane Dembélé, Antoine Griezmann or Philippe Coutinho.

The fact that Samuel Umtiti was transferible does not go to change whatever happens but, in spite of this, the frank-Cameroonian still has options to be important in the FC Barcelona while sight of Barcelona. Especially after the grave injury of Gerard Hammered, that does that Ronald Koeman happen to consider him one more than the staff with options to play.
