Samuel Umtiti has been placed on the transfer list by Barcelona, but the player refuses to leave this season. His entourage have confimed that the player 'is only thinking about next season at Barcelona'. He feels capable and ready to fight for his spot.

He knows he's not going to get half what he is making now else where, he is just riding out the contract, he knows he made a mistake with his knees, right now he is just in secure the bag mode

He can get his wage and leave, by the club paying the difference between Barca wage and his new club salary.
It is the only way to get him out tbh

I wonder if we could look to enforce a reverse-Webster ruling in the cause of Umtiti to break his contract.

We would possibly be liable to pay less than the remainder of his contract as we can cite that he is below the required level due to not having surgery- against the clubs wishes.

I like Umtiti, but this seems to be the only business where you can be below the required level, get overpaid and not have any consequence.

How do we know that?
This is a popular assumption, but it isn't a medical fact. It might be the opposite for what we know.

The last 3 players whom dealt with Cugat (who we were connected to) went for surgery again with other surgeons, I wonder how people are confident that surgery would have saved Umtiti, when every other doctor he went outside the club recommended conservative treatment?

And even if true, he didn't do it to preserve cartilage for his long term health, we have no right to force him to undergo a certain medical surgery for our own interest.


Such case will be lost quicker than our CL hopes in modern era.

Lol that line from MD, is the same recycled one that was used every time Umtiti came back from Injury.

"Umtiti feels well and believes he can fight for his spot" I've seen the same line a thousand times.

They dont even moan that they are on bench, have these ladds no shame anymore?!

Being grossly overpaid will do that. He knows he's not getting even half of this ever again in his career, so even if he's put on the stands for the rest of his contract, he ain't leaving, I think. We're gonna have to literally pay him out to get him off the books. That's Bartomeu business for ya. How can anyone be allowed to make such stupid deals is shocking. Well, I long believe that it wasn't stupidity, but basically intentional sabotage, but still, you'd think someone would've intervened when deals such as this were being signed.
