There are also many kinds of players, some players just want to play, if the team can not give themselves enough time to play, then try everything to leave, looking for new opportunities, and some players even if they can not get the opportunity to play, but also iron heart to stay in the team until the end of the contract and then leave, do not miss any opportunity to get a salary, Barca's center-back Umtiti is such a player. The France international has been highlighted for two seasons since joining Barca, which also made the management at the time think that he is a material to be made, and can't wait to send a new contract.
After completing the work of contract extension, Umtiti was very unlucky to encounter injuries, two knee injuries that caused him to miss most of the games in 18 years, playing time dropped sharply, and the state declined very badly. From the top center-back in La Liga directly degenerated to a second-rate center-back, and then a series of problems led to the inability to play, last season only played 13 games for the team, this season so far only 1 appearance record, it can be said that it has completely lost the trust of the team.
But even though there was little way to guarantee the timing of his appearance, Umtiti never wanted to leave. Although the French centre-back cannot guarantee enough form now, he may not have the opportunity to return to the middle and lower teams or other leagues, and staying at Barca now is nothing more than trying to get the last high salary. When completing the renewal in 2018, Barca offered Umtiti a salary that exceeded most of the players, which is why Umtiti never wanted to leave.
According to media reports, as many as five clubs have submitted offers to Barca during the winter transfer period this season in the hope of getting Umtiti, but the French centre-back has refused to leave and is determined to fulfill his contract. This "nail household" approach has led Barça fans to ridicule him as Barca's Bale, the contract between the Welsh winger and Real Madrid is also the same as it is now, and the team hopes that the players can transfer, even if the transfer fee is low. But the players don't want to leave, but want to be able to get a high salary in the team steadily.
Such an incident occurred at Barca, which made many fans more mock the professional ability of Barca's management in terms of transfer renewal, whether it is the introduction of Dembele and others or the renewal of players such as Umtiti, which is their mistake in team management in the past few seasons. Some fans said that this situation should not be blamed on Umtiti, if he plays well, barca will choose to refuse when other teams make offers to transfer.
