The newspaper "MD" affirms that the president of the Olympique of Lyon, Jean-Michel Classrooms, would be had to traspasar to Samuel Umtiti to the FC Barcelona with the aim of ingresar a good quantity of money, with which would try to retain to the one hundred by one hundred to which is at present the big star of the French group, the leading Alexandre Lacazette.
Classrooms never has commented that Umtiti was untransferable, and in fact the Catalan press signals that the traspaso with the FC Barcelona could close by a minimum of 25 million euros, the quantity from which the Olympique of Lyon would be had to negotiate.
To Alexandre Lacazette him llueven succulent offers of the Premier League and in fact also was linked to the Barça during the last months, by what is not of extrañar that Classrooms want to save a bit to retain him and avoid that it do the cases course to another club that can pay him a more adapted agreement to his characteristics.
Such would be the interest of the Barcelona in Umtiti that would have advanced to John Stones (Everton), Aymeric Laporte (Athletic) and Marquinhos (PSG), since all they would cost a minimum of 50 million euros, whereas the French-Cameroonian of the Lyon could land in the Camp Nou in half of price. To his 22 years, has left to be already a young promise to turn into a reality after his good performances of this past season, that have cost him to be present in the Eurocopa of France 2016.
In this sense, and still also with open fronts like the one of Mauritius Lemos, the true is that the FC Barcelona would be had to make an effort for doing with the services of Samuel Umtiti, the reinforcement that more sounds to day of today for the saga barcelonista.
