Samuel Umtiti left in tears by Barcelona but determined to stay

It’s no secret that Barcelona and Samuel Umtiti are at quite the crossroads. The Frenchman and Barca couldn’t come to any sort of an agreement on his leaving the club over the summer. That debacle has led to the awkward situation wherein Umtiti is basically exiled at the club but eager to stay.

His desire to remain at the club and play also led to some whistles at the Camp Nou during pre-season in the Joan Gamper Trophy and he has now opened on his situation in a new interview.

“The whistles hurt,” he said.
