Umtiti to Barcelona a done deal?
According to Mundo Deportivo, it seems as Barcelona have finally got their man. It is reported that French international defender Samuel Umtiti has agreed a five year deal at the Camp Nou.
The 22 year old is just awaiting the finalization of the deal between the two clubs with the final amount just to be decided. The money men at Barcelona are demanding that the fee doesn’t rise above €25million, with Lyon insisting on a fee closer to €30million. In this instance the La Liga champions will try an insert a number of bonuses to get the deal over the line.
Both Luis Enrique and Robert Fernandez identitfied the player as a priority signing this summer to reinforce the defence and the player himself admitted last week that Barcelona is a club where ‘all players want to play.’
The only other issue that may arise before announcing the deal is trying to fit in the required time to conduct the necessary medical examinations.
