Samuel Umtiti leaves Barcelona for Lecce on a season-long loan
FC Barcelona announced on Thursday that it has agreed to loan defender Samuel Umtiti to Lecce for the remainder of the season.
The Serie A club secured the arrival of the experienced centre-back, which did not include the option to keep Umtiti permanently at the end of the season.
Barcelona are desperate to lower their wage bill in order to register defender Jules Conde, who joined the club from Sevilla earlier this month.
It also exceeds the £1.4bn the club spent over the entire last season.
