The FC Barcelona would be very attentive to the future of Samuel Umtiti

As it has published the newspaper "Sport", the visit of Robert Fernández this past weekend to the Stade Gerland to witness in direct the Lyon-PSG did not owe only and exclusively to the will to see act to Marquinhos and Verratti, players that have been linked by several means during the last months to the FC Barcelona, but also to see live the performance of another central youngster French that would be in the diary of the Barcelona club of face to the next season 2016-17, Samuel Umtiti, that has been international in the inferior categories of the French selection and is one of the central more promising of Europe to his 22 years.

Umtiti, of Cameroonian origin, is a left-handed defender that also is able to act like left side, in a very similar profile to the of Jeremy Mathieu. In spite of everything, the central of the Olympique of Lyon neither played against Paris Saint-Germain, by what is very likely that the presence of Robert Fernández in the terracings of the Stade of Gerland was entirely useless and badly scheduled, as long as Marquinhos and Umtiti were the aims of his visit.

Anyway, if the FC Barcelona finally opted for doing of face to the next season with the services of Samuel Umtiti, the true is that would have a big competition in the Premier League. The Newcastle already would have asked after the footballer launching a first offer, whereas the Catalan newspaper ensures that sources of the Olympique of Lyon plant the price of exit of Umtiti in around 15 million euros, a quantity that would not be descabellada for what has scheduled to spend the FC Barcelona during next summer in the demarcation of head office.

This yes, the first option culé would continue being the one of Marquinhos, by the one who the FC Barcelona would not doubt neither a second in paying around 40 million euros, sabedor that it treats of one of the best head offices of Europe in a future no too far.
