have Ronald Araujo, Clement Lenglet, Gerard Pique, Oscar Mingueza and
Eric Garcia
as their centre-backs and it may appear that it should be enough for the next season.

Samuel Umtiti
and he should consider other clubs. The France international did not feature much under Ronald Koeman this year, with his knee injury stopping him from getting to the same level he was in the first two campaigns at Camp Nou.

He earns €12m per season and not many clubs are going to meet his requirements due to the financial problems the pandemic has made.
