Samuel Umtiti has never regained his 2018 level, the fault of a multitude of injuries, in particular to the left knee. The French international defender (27 years old, 31 caps) was only able to participate in 16 matches last season, in all competitions. He will meet his management very soon.
According to Sport, there will be no question of an extension but on the contrary of reducing the salary of the defender, under contract until June 2023. The objective of the maneuver would be to facilitate a loan from the world champion. However, it seems that Samuel Umtiti does not want to leave the Catalan club.
