If he wants to go he can go.

Good players but gets over rated on here.

Funny how Mashc was made out to be mistake prone but never had the fraction of fuck ups Umtiti has had.

this and people forget we were not good defensively last year with him. If he is greedy replace him with Upamecano and get over with it.

I guess now we'll see half the forum go against him and start underrating him. he's the best CB in the world and if he leaves its a huge blow, hes the perfect CB for Barca. replacing him with Upamecano or de ligt is incredibly stupid.

anyways he won't be leaving. hes doing what Ramos did a while back, use a rich club like United to get an improved contract. I'll only worry when theres strong links to City
 
Him leaving to Man Utd would be a massive loss for all parties. Him and us. Remember how hard a time we had replacing Puyol? Took us 5 years to finally get him. We'll soon need to replace Pique as well which would double the problem.

Fortunately he's not leaving.

You trust a Madrid based paper known for being the largest liars in Spanish publication over Catalan papers?

Damn.

Being a Madrid based paper, they'd be all over it if there were any chance of Umtiti leaving.

If they were lying, they'd be lying the other way. No reason for them to lie about him staying. Doesn’t fit their agenda at all.

Makes much more sense for Sport to be the ones lying here.

You are overrating him. De Ligt yes but Upamecano has proven him at age 19 in one of the 4 best leagues in the world and in Europe competitions. There isn't even any proof to your point that he is the best CB in the world.
 
You guys do realize he's one of the lowest earners on the team right? Despite being one of our best players, not to mention the best CB in the world? I don't see a problem at all with him wanting a better salary, just as long as he accepts a high buyout clause. Maybe he shouldn't be on the Iniesta, Suarez etc level wages Sport is reporting (which could very well be more fake news from them) but he does deserve a raise.

Anyway it's all negotation tactics and fake news from Sport. He'll renew, most likely after the world cup and that'll be that.

I'm not overrating him. hes the perfect CB for Barca right now and its pretty obvious he is the best CB in the world, if not Umtiti then who is?

and btw I don't dispute that de ligt/Upamecano would be great additions but not as starting CBs at Barca

Is he the best CB in the world though?

That seems just to have been decided as if a fact.

If he is then defending is at a fucking low.

Good player and great penalty box defender but fuck me 'best in world' and 'potential all time great' are too quick to give him based on performances week in week out in my opinion.

Great penalty box, great pass interceptor, amazing passer, very good positioning, can dribble, always knows what to do with the ball, passes between the lines, always wins the ball and does everything at the highest level overall, the only thing I can think of he doesn't do is score goals, which I don't expect from a CB. Are you talking about consistency? Are you kidding me? He has been providing performances week in week out for last 2 seasons, one of our most consistent players. PLEASE tell me a better CB in the world than Umtiti.

He isn't better than Piqué or Ramos. And Upamecano would be a damn terror with a great CB alongside him.

I would like to keep Umtiti but this isn't black or white. Good player but can get replaced if he wants too much money.
