Barcelona is still looking for a way out for French defender Samuel Umtiti in the coming period.<\/p>\n
According to press reports issued today, Girona club aims to sign Barcelona and France defender Samuel Umtiti, who is suffering inside the “Camp Nou” castle.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old Frenchman has a contract with the Catalan club until June 2026, after the two parties agreed to renew the contract in exchange for a reduction in the annual salary.<\/p>\n

Girona club chairman Per Guardiola, brother of Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola, said in statements to Cadena Ser radio in Catalonia: “We do not rule out the idea of \u200b\u200bcontracting with Umtiti during the summer Mercato.”<\/p>\n
He added, “He has talked about deals with Kiki Carcel (sports director) and Mitchell (coach) about what they need next season.”<\/p>\n
