That's not really that high, I thought he demanded 8mil per season. He deserves it.

“Griezmann to Barça? I am an agent now? (laughs). Yes, we did talk about it.”
“Manchester United? I’m aware that other clubs are interested in me. But I’m focused on Barça.”
“That Puyol photoshop? (laughs) It wasn’t very good looking. But he is an example for me. Always defended well and he was always focused.”
“Xavi praised me? Well, it’s an honour to be praised by a player like him.”
“It was my dream to play at Barça. And I achieved it when I was just 22. I’m very happy here, whenever I play and whenever I train.”
“The ‘Remontada’ against PSG is my favourite moment at this club. It showed that we can do anything. It was something very special. Infact, when I went to Paris after that game, and I wanted to enter a restaurant, they told me there are no tables available, when actually the entire restaurant was empty (laughs).”
"Rabiot and Kurzawa's picture (after the 4-0 game) helped us make it. We felt disrespected."
"After 'Remontada', when I was called up with the national team, Kurzawa wasn't happy to see me"
“I asked Griezmann what he thought of Barça and everything about the club. As any other player, he said only good things. All players at the level of Antoine dream of playing here (laughs).”
“My release clause? I know it’s not much, but I don’t think about those things. I focus on what happens on the pitch.”
“My contract renewal? Nothing related to that has started yet.”
“Manchester United? I’m aware that other clubs are interested in me. But I’m focused on Barça.”

He wants to triple his salary? In the real world has anyone gone up to their boss and got this type of pay raise???
4 million net is max we should go.

manchester united is offering him much more wages, probably what he wants.. so he has the right to ask for the same

Those who are, like, at worst top 10 in the world at their jobs sure did. And 6 million is nothing these days in football (as sad as that sounds for kicking a ball). About 115,000 Euros a week. Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia make that at United.

IIRC it is net salary in Umtiti case, while in UK it is always gross. So He will be double Valancia (less than double, but I am too lazy to check the taxes and do the math)

For Manchester United and PSG money is the only factor for world class players to play. Not for Barca, Bayern and Real. It's not like Bayern is offering him. Infact, they would never offer such a wage for Umtiti. Playing for Manchester and Barca cannot be comparable at all for a footballer's career.

I think these are net wages:
https://www.totalsportek.com/money/manchester-united-player-salaries/
Because it has Sanchez at 350,000 pounds a week whereas the Telegraph reports him at 600,000 a week before tax: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tax/news/alexis-sanchez-much-tax-ni-will-man-utds-new-star-pay-600000/
Pogba was reported as the highest Premier League earner before Sanchez came to United. The highest Premier League earner surely was not on only 7.5 million pounds net.

I don't blame Umtiti, he absolutely deserves a better wage, but the media circus is just... funny to me. Moving to PSG or Real Madrid would make more sense, though. Moving to a glorious, but filled with mediocre players club, just for 3m more salary seems extremely stupid idea. It's not like United are going to build a franchise around Samuel Umtiti.
Or are they?
