FC Barcelona and Samuel Umtiti are back on good terms after the defender signed a new contract. Umtiti will earn less per year, but for a longer period of time with the new deal. That means that overall, he will only lose a small amount of money.
The original deal had one-and-a-half years left, earning €12 million per year, for a total of €18m over the life of the contract. Now, he’ll earn €16.2 million in four-and-a-half years, which is around €3.6 million per year. That means that, over the life of the contract, he will take a 10% reduction in wages.
