24-year-old center-back Samuel Umtiti, playing a great season at Barcelona, does not agree with the Catalans on a new contract.
The local newspaper "Sport" claims that the French national team defender is demanding a salary of 9 million euros, but Barcelona refuses to pay such money, as only stars like Andres Iniesta and Luis Suarez currently earn such amounts.
Barcelona has been negotiating with the footballer for some time now about a new contract, as his current one includes a release clause of just 60 million euros, which any European giant could easily pay.
However, S. Umtiti's expectations are so high that he and his representatives are demanding a rather impressive salary from Barcelona.
According to the mentioned source, Barcelona's managers are seriously concerned about this situation, as S. Umtiti's services are of interest to several European giants.
It is reported that "Manchester United" has the best chances of acquiring the defender. "Sport" states that Jose Mourinho has already spoken on the phone with the footballer and promised that "Man Utd" will pay as much as he currently wants to receive at Barcelona.
The newspaper believes that Barcelona is extremely unhappy with S. Umtiti and his representatives' behavior, making a move to Manchester United with each passing day more realistic.
