Umtiti will only depart Barca on one condition amid fans’ boos
The Barcelona star has made himself clear regarding his future plans amid fans’ boos during their Joan Gamper Trophy victory over the Bianconeri.
Samuel Umtiti
was one of the players to be aiming for an exit while
Barcelonawere dealing with Lionel Messi’s situation.
With the Blaugrana desperate to reduce their salary cap, the France international was one of the players the club wanted to cash in on due to many injury issues over the last few years.
However, the 27-year-old did not jump at the opportunity to depart Camp Nou and is happy where he is, with two years left on his contract.
It is the defender’s right to see out his contract, but the fans harshly booed him during Joan Gamper Trophy clash, partially blaming him for Messi’s exit, which is nonsense. Umtiti, however, was upset by the situation, saying:
“Sometimes I think it’s best to say nothing and let the silence take care of things
.”
Mundo Deportivo
reports that the Frenchman is open to departing, with Barcelona working on their salary issues. But he will depart if he receives an offer from a club as competitive for titles.
