Portazo to Florentino Pérez. Or "without Zidane I'm not going" (and negotiates with Barça)

The president of Real Madrid receives pumpkins

The negotiations have been broken. Florentino Perez was behind a crack of the Barça to kill two birds with one stone, but it seems that the happy shot has backfired.

The president of Real Madrid has been trying for a while to seduce Samuel Umtiti, the revelation defender at the Camp Nou. Its termination clause is a joke: 60 million euros.

For the quantities that move Barça and Madrid today, and according to how the market has been put, the price of Umtiti can be considered a bargain.

Florentino knows, in addition, that the problems in the renovation of the French defender go through to improve his salary. Something that Real Madrid could offer.

For months there have been contacts between the two parties and Umtiti's own brother , Yannick, met with people from the white club to listen to his proposal.

Umtiti says no to Florentino Pérez

However, the French central, author of a goal in the friendly against Italy, has made it clear that his priority is to renew with Barca: " I have to hit a kick to go ."

The positions are increasingly closer between the player and the board of Josep Maria Bartomeu, very concerned about the high salaries and the shadow of the Financial Fair Play .

The good news is that you can be calmer when you see the shadow of Real Madrid. The intervention of his new agent, Arturo Canales, has also been decisive.

Canales is also the representative of Gerard Piqué, so he knows better than anyone how much each one charges. But Umtiti must assume that he still can not choose his partner's numbers.

Barça, increasingly Frenchified

Although if his progression continues as before, is called to be the benchmark for Barca in the future. In an increasingly Frenchified team.

And that is precisely one of the reasons why Umtiti has said no to Madrid: " Without Zidane I'm not going ". The French coach generated illusion and confidence to the Barca defense.

With the march of Zidane, and the expected departure of Benzema, the Madrid loses much of its French essence. Only Varane will remain , whose future is not clear either.

On the other hand, in Barcelona Umtitialready has Dembelé and Lucas Digne,two good friends of his. In addition, he waits with open arms for his friend Antoine Griezmann.
