The January transfer window is now in full swing, and La Liga has been no exception. One club that has been particularly active is Barcelona, with their forward, Samuel Umtiti, being one of the key players to watch.
Barcelona have been heavily linked with a move for Samuel Umtiti, with the French defender having spent the majority of his career at the Nou Camp. The 28-year-old has made over 300 appearances for Barca, and has become a fan favorite due to his work rate and commitment to the team.
However, despite this, Umtiti has struggled to find his form in recent seasons, and it seems that he may be on the verge of leaving the club. According to reports, the Catalan giants are considering selling the defender to close out the January transfer window, with interest from Serie A giants Inter Milan said to be high.
If Umtiti does leave Barcelona, then they will be looking to replace him with someone who can fill the gap left by the former Manchester United star. However, there are concerns about whether or not Barcelona can afford to lose such a talented player, especially given the financial constraints they currently face.
Despite these concerns, it is clear that Samuel Umtiti remains a valuable asset for Barcelona, and it will be interesting to see what happens next as the January transfer window continues to unfold. Whether or not he stays at the club or leaves, one thing is certain - Samuel Umtiti will always be remembered as one of the greatest defenders to grace the Nou Camp.
