Lecce president Saverio Sticchi Damiani says that Samuel Umtiti is an “incredible signing” for his club after landing the Barcelona defender on loan.
Umtiti has moved after a tough couple of years at the Camp Nou and was clearly overcome by emotion after receiving an epic welcome from the Serie A side.
This is beautiful - Samuel Umtiti (28) cries with happiness as Lecce supporters show him love. For so long, he’s been derided by Barcelona fans & the club for having injuries he couldn’t control after committing to sacrificing his body for World Cup glory.
