It does already almost two years that Samuel Umtiti was the election surprise for the defence of the FC Barcelona, and practically with the same feeling has observed his explosion like Barcelona and the last pulse with the directive for his renewal. Anybody has doubted of the commitment that the French shows on the lawn, but his recent change of attitude can be determinant.
The rumours on the Manchester United, the discussions and the tensions of the last months have affected clearly to his performance, but from does days has noticed an important variation in his speech. To leave in the air his continuity, the Frenchman has happened to affirm with rotundity that wants to remain, what could be a big step of face to encarrilar the agreement.
In spite of that the player has not renounced to his requirements, his last movements have reassured in some measure to the club, that took to what seems a clear attempt to turn off a fire that has descontrolado. The one of Lyon has hired the services of an agent experienced like Arturo Channels so that it advise him, and consigns it is very promising.
Umtiti Has left clear to his representatives that the Barça is above the rest, and that the priority by his part is to continue in the Camp Nou. Still there are differences that recortar and have to approach the postures, but that there is will by both parts already is a very clear symptom that the end can be happy for all.
The Barça and Umtiti, condemned to understand
What also has put on the table Samuel Umtiti is that the recent restrictions to control the cost in wages would not have to affect him, since his case is very distinct and has won the improvement that demands. It is innegable that by what has showed in these two years the defender deserves a review of his agreement, although all have left him clear that it will be better to take it with more calm.
The Barça keeps firm remembering that the scale salarial is important for the management of the group, and that to base of years and effort will be able to reach what asks without any problem. What also remembers by his part is that it can not jump steps and engage to the own club, because if no, when it happen this time, his agreement will go back to be desfasado and the margin of negotiation will be minimum. For the time being, all look to the same aims, by what are condemned to understand .
