Embarrassment! Barcelona’s 28-year-old waste transfer was in vain,

Barcelona made a huge breakthrough in the transfer market. In addition to the introduction of Lewandowski, they also spent 67 million to get Leeds United winger Rafinha. Xavi is confident to wrestle with Real Madrid. However, Barcelona’s cleaning work has not been smooth. According to Catalan media TV3, Umtiti’s transfer transaction has been in vain because there is no medical examination arranged by the Rennes Club.

The 28-year-old Umtiti made his debut in the French giants Lyon. He became famous in the 2016 European Cup and soon transferred to Barcelona for 25 million euros. However, in the past six seasons, Umtiti has only made 133 appearances for Barcelona, ​​which is lower than Dembele’s attendance rate. In the 21/22 season, Umtiti was ambitious, but he was ignored by the two coaches, Koeman and Xavi. He only made one appearance in La Liga all season and got one yellow card.

There is no doubt that Barcelona has lost confidence in Umtiti, and Xavi also told him that it is not in the plan for the new season. Everyone at Barcelona hopes that Umtiti will leave as soon as possible and join a team that can play the ball, otherwise he will spend the next year on the bench or even be thrown into the stands.

Why is Barcelona so cruel to Umtiti? The reason is that his annual salary is too high, the annual salary before tax is as high as 13 million euros, and the financial difficulties of Barcelona are overwhelmed. What’s even more funny is that Umtiti is only worth 2 million euros. In other words, Umtiti’s annual salary is six times his own worth.

In fact, Umtiti has not always been such a waste. At the beginning, he once showed the potential of a superstar, with a peak value of 70 million euros. Barcelona also regarded him as the core of the future defense to cultivate, and they are happy to renew his contract with a high salary.

It’s a pity that Barcelona was too optimistic, and was quickly slapped in the face. In the World Cup in Russia 4 years ago, Umtiti concealed his injury from the club, participated in the World Cup with a knee injury, and insisted on playing closed games until he finally won the championship.

Umtiti won the Hercules Cup with the team as he wished, but he missed the best time for treatment, and his physical condition and competitive level declined rapidly. There is no doubt that Umtiti’s knee has been scrapped, and it is impossible to return to the peak. However, his annual salary is very high, and it is difficult to find a suitable team to take over.

In order to get rid of Umtiti, Barcelona has done everything possible in recent years, sometimes notifying him to transfer quickly, sometimes threatening to send him to the reserve team, and even wanting to unilaterally terminate the contract. But Umtiti didn’t change his face or heartbeat, he just didn’t go away, and paid tribute to Bell from the air.

What’s more, in order to survive the financial crisis, Barcelona had to delay the payment of salaries and were forced to renew Umtiti’s contract until 2026. Considering that Umtiti has already won the World Cup, he has also won La Liga and the King’s Cup, and he has no regrets in his career. He has spent another 4 years with Barcelona’s high salary, so that the La Liga giants are indescribable.

It is worth mentioning that Manchester United asked for Umtiti in the summer of 2019, but Barcelona had fantasies at the time, hoping to make a huge sum of money from the Frenchman, asking for as high as 60 million euros, which led to the breakdown of the negotiations and missed it. The best time to dump the pot.
