Samuel Umtiti appeared this Monday in front of the media in the room of press Ricard Maxenchs, hardly some minutes after signing the renewal with the FC Barcelona until 2023, and answered to questions that no only had to see with his future and the one of the Barça, but also with the possible arrival of Antoine Griezmann to the Catalan entity this next summer.

"I speak a lot with Griezmann but no of the subject of his future. We speak of the Play Station, of the food... But of this subject no. It is a fantastic player and can help to all the teams. If it wants to come it will be fantastic", commented in first instance when they asked after him his mate in the selection 'bleu', with the one who according to him has not spoken of the Barça.

Also they asked after him Dembélé and by how would affect to his minutes in the Barça a possible arrival of Griezmann, something on what Samuel Umtiti did not want to explayarse too much. "I know very well to Dembélé and speak with him, but am not here to speak of Griezmann or Dembélé, they can say what think and especially Antoine will take his decision. They are two players that understand very well and is all what can say".

Afterwards, when they went back to ask after him the player of the Athletic of Madrid, Umtiti showed more conclusive: "I do not want to speak more than Griezmann", signalled, leaving clear that would not answer to more questions on the one of Macon.

To Umtiti likes him Lenglet

Before, they had asked him also by Clément Lenglet, young head office of the Seville that would be in the diary of the FC Barcelona, and Umtiti showed loved with the game and the progression of his compatriot, although without going further regarding a signing by the Barça.

"Lenglet? It is a very good player. It likes me how it plays and we would have to speak with the directors to know if it can come but to me loves me as it plays", signalled the Barcelona defender. It seems that, if the FC Barcelona decides to do with the services of Lenglet, Umtiti will be happy with the arrival of the current player of the Seville, that would reinforce even more the defensive saga. The time will say.
