Barcelona: Barcelona has reached a deal with defender Samuel Umtiti to end his contract two years in advance, the club said.
The French defender was under contract with Barcelona through the end of the 2025-26 season. He played on a loan at Italian club Lecce this past campaign.
Umtiti joined Barcelona in 2016 but struggled with injuries in his final period with the Catalan club.
The 29-year-old defender was injury-free with Lecce in Italy, where he played 25 matches.
Umtiti was part of France’s World Cup-winning squad in 2018 and helped Barcelona win two Spanish league titles and three Copa del Rey trophies.
