There are teams that are willing to go on loan to Umtiti, but the players still don't want to go and have to prove themselves in front of Xavi
Recently, it was reported that Umtiti still has no intention of leaving the team, and his idea is to continue to prove himself in front of Xavi, but Barca are now firmly bent on purging it. It is understood that Benfica has now developed a certain interest in Umtiti and asked about the possibility of loaning him, and Barca are willing to make a little financial sacrifice in order to send this player away.
In the summer of this year, Barça originally planned to resolutely purge Umtiti, but what is surprising is that this player has successfully stayed in the team through his own persuasion and efforts, and even his words and deeds have made barca executives think that they have made mistakes and have ignored the feelings of the players. But after the start of the new season, this player is still the same as before, on the one hand, Koeman, who just left class, originally did not like to use him, and secondly, he was also injured and very vulnerable. And now in Barca, although the quality of the central defenders is generally not good, but the number is quite large, in this case Umtiti really has no meaning and value to stay in the team.
The French defender's annual salary after tax reached 6.5 million euros per year, which is an absolute burden in the current Barça squad, so Barça hope to get rid of it smoothly, but it is not easy. Benfica had just met Barca in the Champions League, and then they asked about the possibility of Umtiti's loan now. In order to let Umtiti leave smoothly, Barça is also willing to subsidize some amounts in salary, at least without fully bearing Umtiti's full annual salary, which is the purpose of Barca.
But what is very embarrassing now is Umtiti's personal thoughts, he may know that his physical condition is completely out of shape, so he insists on staying in the team. It is reported that he even released the so-called bold statement, that is, to prove to Xavi with his performance, so that he can continue to stay in Barcelona. It is unclear what Barca will do, but it is certain that Barca may also take some extreme measures to force Umtiti away when necessary. In fact, this player continues to stay in the team at this time is indeed a bit unethical, after all, Barca did give him a good salary, and now his physical condition is actually no longer theoretically suitable for high-paced games, continuing to stay in the team can only increase the team's expenses, he knows that he can not be reused, still insist on continuing this, can only be said to increase people's disgust for him, but there is no way, some players are holding such an idea to mix days.
