Samuel Umtiti is one of the players who aim to leave FC Barcelona this summer. Xavi Hernández does not have him and the French central defender is looking for a team. Everything indicates that he will return to Ligue 1
The FC Barcelona works in his planning for the season 2022-2023, in which it expects a revolution in the staff so much in matter of exits and reinforcements. Xavi Hernández already has communicated to a few footballers that do not go in in his plans and, in fact, the 'desconvocó' for the beginning of the pre-season, pautado for next Tuesday. Samuel Umtiti is one of them and everything aims to that will return to Tie it 1, where already several teams have manifested interest in his traspaso.
The central of 28 years has taken the decision to abandon the Camp Nou in research of minutes, after in the 21-22 solo saw action in 90'. In the last days has informed that the Olympique of Marseilles is his ideal option, put already knows the club, and also has related him with the Fiorentina, but now from 'L'Instrument' have stood out that the Rennes splits like the main interested in doing with his traspaso this summer.
The French club already would have done to arrive an offer to Umtiti to value his mudanza to the Roazhon Park of face to the season 22-23, but the central would have asked time to take the final decision on his future. Likewise, the Rennes would value a cession by a season with option to purchase, that the Barça will try that it was compulsory. The wage, on the other hand, could be paid in a percentage by the Barcelona, as it already happened with Coutinho when it left in quality of loan to the Aston Villa in January.
The wish of Umtiti
As it informed the newspaper 'SPORT' does some days, the intention of Umtiti would be fichar by a team that go to contest the Champions League in the season 2022-23. The French knows that it is a quite complicated alternative and, up to now, only would have to the Marseilles like option (to play the UCL), although from France stood out that the team marsellés was not interested in his traspaso.
The Barça, finally, will do all the possible for 'undo' of a player that has been practically unimportant since it began his nightmare with the injuries. They trust, however, in that they will be able to put it in the market and, after several attempts, sell it definitively.
