The Italian club Lecce on its official website announced the lease of Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti. The 28-year-old Frenchman will arrive in Italy today for a medical examination.

Earlier, the Spanish media reported that the blue-garnet will release the 28-year-old football player for rent absolutely free and will pay him the entire salary. In addition, Barcelona will receive a bonus for each defender’s participation in the match up to the set limit. This is reported by telecomasia.net

The current agreement of Yumtiti with Barcelona is calculated until the summer of 2026. The Frenchman, who has been playing for the Catalans since 2016, extended his contract with the club in January, agreeing to a salary reduction. Earlier, Barcelona coach Xavi said that he does not count on Yumtiti in the near future.
