The risk Samuel Umtiti has taken with his contract

Samuel Umtiti signed a new Barcelona contract and in it, he bet strongly on his performance. He has always said he sees himself as a starter who can play in the team. When he signed his new deal, he made that clear to Barcelona.

If he doesn’t play, he doesn’t earn. A big part of his new deal is based on variables. If he does not feature, he earns very little. This could save the club 14 million euros. He did not have to risk it, but he did. And to show no good deed goes unpunished, he got injured straight away.
