"Barcelona" delighted the fans clubs - announced about Samuel Umtiti's contract renewal. The future of the 24-year-old center-back at "Barcelona" became unclear when he asked for a salary that the club leaders were not willing to pay. His contract specified only a 50 million euro amount, so other major European clubs immediately eyed him. However, "Barca" managed to reach a personal agreement on the contract terms with S. Umtiti, and he committed to staying in the capital of Catalonia at least until 2023. S. Umtiti joined "Barca" in 2016 and immediately became a key figure in defense. Last season, the Frenchman played 40 games, scored one goal, and won the Spanish "La Liga" championship.
