Barcelona: fans contribute money during live broadcast to terminate Umtiti’s contract

Samuel Umtiti played one game (draw against Osasuna) in the season with Barcelona because most of the time he was injured or on the substitute bench. For that reason, the fans of the Barça team are upset with the performance of the French player and ask for his departure.

However, the defender still has a contract until June 2026, so a termination generates costs. In that sense, the fans know that the team he loves is going through a bad economic situation and contributed from their pockets so that the footballer leaves the Spanish club.

During a meeting organized by Joan Laporta and broadcast on the Barcelona YouTube account, the leaders met to approve the sale of a portion of the television rights. Meanwhile, the Blaugrana fans watched attentively

Although, one of the fans contributed a certain amount of money and left a special message: “Completion of Umtiti’s contract”. Later, other followers also joined this request and requested the sale of Frenkie De Jong. Later, users took a screenshot of this anecdotal situation and the images went viral on social networks.
