"Barcelona" is going through a difficult period after it was announced last week that the club will not be able to extend the contract with Lionel Messi. Facing financial difficulties, the Catalan club could not offer the Argentine player a contract that complies with "La Liga" rules. "Barca" tried to negotiate with other team players and asked them to reduce their salaries or offered them the possibility to leave the team altogether. Samuel Umtiti was probably the main player that "Barca" tried to sell this summer, but the Frenchman refused to leave the team. Unhappy with the behavior of the defender, "Barcelona" fans booed S. Umtiti during a friendly match with "Juventus" on Sunday when he was receiving the ball. Such behavior from the fans clearly angered the Frenchman, who immediately went to the locker room after the match and refused to participate in the friendly tournament trophy presentation ceremony."
