Before the start of the 2020-2021 season Barcelona need to sell many players from their current squad who have failed to help the club to be effective in winning silverware in the 2019-2020 season. In addition to losing out on silverware the club recorded a loss of 8-2 against Bayern Munich in the quarter finals of the Champions League. This result lead to the sacking of Quique Setien in addition to the sacking many other problems arose for the club as Barca’s superstar Lionel Messi showed his desire to leave the club which caused a lot of friction both internally and externally at the club.
The 2018-2019 La Liga champions are expected to the start the next season without many players such as Luis Suarez, Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal and Samuel Umtiti. Even though Barcelona have made it clear that they want to sell these experienced players they are struggling to sell the world cup winning central defender Samuel Umtiti.
Samuel Umtiti might join a team in the Premier League.
According to the Sun, many English clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Westham and Everton who were earlier interested in the Frenchman might opt to sign the defender in the near future. This is because reports have suggested that Barca are considered terminating Samuel Umtiti’s contact over the next few days.
Even though Umtiti doesn’t want to leave Barca reports suggest Ronald Koeman might want to sign a world-class defender who can replace Samuel Umtiti and act as a long term replacement for Gerard Pique.
What club do you think Samuel Umtiti will join?
