The FC Barcelona is more 'put' that never in the market of signings. The Catalans expect to reinforce his staff with several contractings, but in order to be able to tackle the same, will have to give him gone out to varied of the active that are not in the plans of Xavi Hernández for the next season. The economic situation of the club forces them to give off of some members of the entity, and varied are the distinguished footballers to abandon the City Condal.

In such sense, the most affected zone will be the defence of the team. With the future landing of Andreas Christensen to the Camp Nou, the barcelonistas will see as it produces a 'overbooking' of head offices, due to the fact that they have the presence of the already mentioned Christensen, Gerard Hammered, Ronald Arújo, Eric García, Samuel Umtiti, Óscar Mingueza and Clément Lenglet. With the obligation to undo of, at least, 2 of them, the ex player of the Lyon is the one who has all the 'ballots' to leave the discipline culé in the first place.

Umtiti Joined to the rows of the Barcelona group in the season 2016-2017 and his impact in the team was immediate. The French knew to do with a place in the eleven initial of the square and aimed to be a central of period for the Barcelona institution. His performance in the World-wide of Russia 2018 was consagratoria and the expectations with him were by the 'skies', but the injuries had other plans for the footballer. The defender has not recovered the good feelings after suffering problems in the knee during the season 2018-2019, and only has contested 50 parties in 4 seasons.

The continuous absences of the player, added to the poor performance showed when it has had the opportunity to have minutes, have carried it to be one of the descartes of the team, and after having a conversation with Xavi, both parts have understood that the best is to separate his ways. In this stage, the French league presents like the big solution for Samuel, since the Nice is very interested in doing with his services, as it has informed 'lequotidiendusport'.

It would have to negotiate his freedom

Nevertheless, the 'aguiluchos' only would tackle his incorporation if Umtiti arrives with the letter of freedom. The group directed by Christophe Galtier already has contacted with the surroundings of the central so that they negotiate with the Barça the rescission of his agreement and can concretise his signing. By his part, the culés prioritise the desvinculación of the defender and would put all the possible eases, including a cession in case to be necessary. The French would be had to offer him a fixed year more variable in function of his performance, since they still exist doubts on his physical state. In spite of this, the ex of the Lyon would see with good eyes a return to Tie it 1, by what his exit could be question of days.
