In a summer that will be very intense in the offices of the FC Barcelona, one of the pending folders for resolving is the one of Samuel Umtiti. The French will return to the club when finalising the season, once culminate his cession to the Lecce, but his permanence in Catalonia will be by little time. Without place in the group directed by Xavi Hernández, everything aims to that the Frenchman will be still in the Series To in the 2023/24, although with another team.
In this sense, half Italians ensure that the Inter of Milan and the Rome are very interested in adding to 'Big Sam' to his rows in summer. The group 'nerazzurri' looks for a pair of defenders to cover the gap that will leave the goodbye of Milan Skriniar, in addition to the possible exit of Stefan of Vrij the one who also culminates agreement in June. The ones of Simone Inzaghi have suffered a lot of problems in defence this season and fichar at least to a central 'top' is priority for the next market.
Mourinho also could ask to Umtiti for his Rome
Of equal way, the portal 'Calcionow' ensures that the Rome of José Mourinho will look for fichar a defender experienced in summer and the profile of Umtiti likes a lot to the Portuguese trainer. The group 'giallorossi' aims to contest the next edition of the UEFA Champions League, competition to which can access if they keep the fourth place in the Series To or if they win the Europe League, tournament in which they will confront to the Bayer Leverkusen in semifinals.
For Mourinho, fichar to an ex Barça would be all a novelty, but the hierarchy of the Frenchman and the good level showed this season are reasons of weight to reserve him a place. However, the Barcelona will look for his traspaso definite, as his wage (20 million net euros to the year) is impossible to pay for a team that needs to go down mass salarial with urgency.
The resurgir of Umtiti with the Lecce will offer him offers in summer
The player of 29 years has contested 17 parties this season with the ones of Marco Baroni (1.396 minutes), being indisputable headline from the day 15 of the Series To. The group 'salentino' follow struggling by the permanence and, for the moment, is to two points of the red zone of the classification. Samuel only has lost one of the last six parties of the Lecce (by suspension) and aims to keep in the XI to the end of season, being this the first campaign that attains to play complete from the 2017/18.
