The contract extension to 2023 that France defender Samuel Umtiti signed with Barcelona on Monday contains 500m euro (USD 586m) buyout clause said club president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
"We think that with this clause, no one will dream of coming here" for him, Bartomeu said at a press conference at the Nou Camp immediately after Umtiti signed.
"It's great news for Barcelona fans," said Bartomeu, who signed Umtiti for 25m from Lyon in 2016. "Without Samuel, this team would not be the same and we need him."
