Sport 360 – The Spanish newspaper Sport reported that Barcelona want to include Samuel Umtiti in the Memphis Depay deal for Lyon during the current summer transfer period, to kill two birds with one stone.
Barcelona are looking to sign with Depay to support the attack line after the club failed to sign Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martínez, and at the same time, the club is looking for a way out for French defender Samuel Umtiti, who left the accounts of new coach Ronald Koeman.
Lyon surprises Barcelona for their reluctance to sign Umtiti
The newspaper states in its report that the Lyon Club hesitates to include Umtiti in the agreement, for two important reasons, the first due to the high salary the player earns with Barcelona, which amounts to 8 million euros net of taxes. .
The second reason is the knee problem suffered by Umtiti, which has caused his level to drop drastically in the last two years, as coach Rudi García fears that this problem will continue with the player.
It should be noted that Umtiti began his football career with Lyon, as the Sunni teams graduated until he reached the first team in 2012, and after 5 seasons in which he presented a distinguished level, he decided to move to Barcelona, and now there is talk of his return to his hometown again.
