Umtiti seeks peace in Lecce

Samuel Umtiti no problem playing at the club level Lecce. Umtiti admits to being calmer now after the riots Barcelona.

Umtiti was one of the Barcelona players who were eliminated from the team last summer. Since the arrival of Xavi Hernandez, Umtiti has only played once last season.

A knee ligament injury after the 2018 World Cup has damaged Umtiti’s career, averaging just 16 games per season over the past four years.

Umtiti’s departure from Barcelona did not go well because he was forced to leave. Because Barcelona really need to sell a lot of players to ease their wage bill in the midst of the financial crisis.

Umtiti, who had initially insisted on not wanting to cut his salary, eventually softened. Even after signing a new contract, Umtiti has chosen to accept Lecce’s proposal on loan for the entire 2022/2023 season.

The transfer of Umtiti to Lecce is in fact questionable because the club has just been promoted to Serie A. With Umtiti’s qualities he can still play in the big clubs. But Umtiti doesn’t care.

“After what I went through in Barcelona, ​​I need peace and quiet. Lecce is the best solution, because it is nice to live in this city, the conditions here are very favorable for me to start everything from scratch. There were many deals last summer, but today I’m making sure this is the best decision, “he said Samuel Umtiti from Football-Italy.

Samuel Umtiti has only played once this season and has been on the bench a lot more. With better physical condition, Umtiti believes he can do better.

“I arrived at Lecce mentally more ready to face the challenges of every day. I live it every day at Barcelona, ​​because I play with the champions.”

“Unfortunately, some physical problems made my life difficult. It was not easy to return, but I chose to start over with Lecce and first of all I wanted to keep the Giallorossi.”
