Umtiti renews Barça contract to help Ferran Torres get registered
The defender, who the club want to sell, has signed on until 2026 to help the situation at present
Barcelona centre-back Samuel Umtiti has agreed to extend his contract until 2026, which has helped the club register Ferran Torres. He has also reduced his wage over the next year and a half.
The defender is not needed at the club but the renewal helps Barcelona get set in the short term.
“FC Barcelona and first team player Samuel Umtiti have reached an agreement to extend the latter’s contract until 30 June 2026. The French defender is reducing a part of the salary that he was due to receive in the year and a half remaining on his contract,” explained the Catalans.
“This contract extension operation does not entail any greater financial commitments for Barcelona with regard to the player.
“Barcelona wishes to publicly express its gratitude to Samuel Umtiti for his willingness and the affection that he has demonstrated towards the club. Through this contract extension, FC Barcelona will be able to increase its ‘financial fair play’ quota and thus register Ferran Torres with the Spanish Professional Football League.”
