If the Samuel Umtiti to Manchester United transfer rumour feels a bit forced, and all part of the defender pressuring Barcelona for a bumper new contract, over at Don Balon it’s all just too bland.
With the Umtiti to Old Trafford claims being repeatedly pushed in Spain, mainly by Catalan newspaper Sport, England and France, to varying degrees, Don Balon obviously had to take their own dramatic spin on things.
But, Don Balon say, Umtiti wants to stay in Spain.
So that means remaining at Barcelona, right?
Well, not for Don Balon, the imagirumour website report Real Madrid are interested. Yep, taking everything to the most dramatic and sensational point, it’s claimed Florentino Perez would be considering a swoop for the defender, partly to annoy Barcelona.
It’d certainly be entertaining.
