Recently, Barca finally sent Coutinho away. Villa in the Premier League took the Brazilian away on loan, which is a reduction in the annoyance of the La Liga giants. One of Barca's big tasks this season is to send away players who are paid well or can't play.
This summer, Barca have sent away a number of players, including the core messi and Griezmann, who used to pay more than 100 million yuan in transfer fees. Now that Coutinho is gone, the only 3 billionaires in barca are Dembele. Dembele's contract with Barca expired in June and is now likely to leave the team.
In addition to the famous 3 billionaires, there are actually many high-paid players in the Barca team who can't play, including the Frenchman Umtiti. Umtiti hasn't had too many injuries this season, but neither Koeman nor Harvey has been willing to give the Frenchman a chance to play.
Halfway through the season, Umtiti made just one appearance without serious injuries. Given his hefty annual salary, Barca have always wanted to send him away. Umtiti's sluggish state not only made Barca fans unhappy, but even the French reporters could not see it.
Recently, a French journalist retweeted a news item from many years ago. Abidal, who brought in Umtiti, once thought the player would be Barca's Beckenbauer. The French journalist believes that Abidal has obviously done a ridiculous thing, and in the end the player is just a high-paid cashman for Barca.
For the ridicule of the domestic media, Griezmann stood up for his teammates in time, he retorted to this reporter, Umtiti is definitely a hero in the history of the French team, without him Gallic there would be no second (World Cup) star. Gerry believes that Umtiti is not getting a chance to play now, it is only a choice of different coaches, he recognizes the professional attitude of the players, and considers him to be a role model for young French centre-backs.
In 2016, Umtiti joined Barca for a transfer fee of 2500W. At that time, the club wanted to train Umtiti as Mascherano's successor. In 2018, Umtiti scored in the World Cup semi-finals to help France eliminate Belgium.
In recent years, however, Umtiti has suffered constant injuries and his form has plummeted. Recently, it has been reported that including The Premier League's Newcastle, Villa, and Serie A's Roma are interested in introducing the frustrated Frenchman. But the annual salary of the players is too high, and if the Frenchman refuses to reduce the cost, perhaps other middle and lower-level clubs will really have a hard time shooting.
