Barely at FC Barcelona, Samuel Umtiti seems to be pushed towards the exit a few days before the opening of the winter transfer window.
Since 2018, we have not seen the real Samuel Umtiti at FC Barcelona. Embarrassed by several physical problems, the French defender never seemed to be able to regain his level and this season he only played a very small match, against Osasuna on December 12 (2- 2). Thus, a departure has often been mentioned and especially now that Barça is in dire need of the money. To believe the latest indiscretions of SPORT, an amicable resolution could even be proposed to Samuel Umtiti, whose contract with Barça runs until June 2023.
Newcastle take a chance for Umtiti!
A solution could well arise in this winter transfer window. According to information from Tuttosport, Samuel Umtiti is one of the top priorities for Newcastle. The new owners of the club would like to build a framework for their team during the month of January and the defender of FC Barcelona could well present a pledge of experience, hoping that he can finally revive.
