Samuel Umtiti accepts wage reduction at Barcelona

Samuel Umtiti has accepted a wage reduction at Barcelona.

Marca says Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets were the first to do so.

Since those three agreed, Sergi Roberto has also negotiated a new reduced salary and Umtiti is the latest to follow suit.

The French centre-back is well aware of the club's situation and has accepted the conditions under which he is taking the reduction.

As one of the highest-paid players at the club, it was only a matter of time before the Catalan side asked Umtiti to reduce his wages.

Despite being out of favour at the club in recent years, as well as suffering from a number of injuries, Umtiti is eager to show that he is keen to fight for the badge and will now look to do so on a reduced wage.
