Barcelona are looking for a way to resolve the situation of defender Samuel Umtiti. The problem lies in the player’s contract duration, which ends in June 2023, and the ongoing injuries that haunt the athlete.
Despite the reduction in their salary, Barcelona think that all the money paid by Umtiti does not equal the performance shown within the team, according to the Sports world. The player can receive a FIFA clause to get out of Barcelona. The article in question would be 18.3 of the Players’ Status and Transfer Regulations.
“A professional player who, in the course of a season, participates in less than 10% of the official matches for his club, may prematurely terminate his agreement alleging justified sporting cause. In this case, the player’s circumstances will be considered”, says the article.
Umtiti could ask for his freedom if coach Ronald Koeman followed without giving him options this season. However, it is unlikely that the proposal will be successful, as in 2022 the player will have a clear path to leave the club.
