FC Barcelona have added one of the best young players in soccer to their back line in French center back Samuel Umtiti.
The 22-year-old phenom, who starred for France in the final two games of the recently concluded Euro 2016 tournament, joins the Spanish giants from French club Lyon for a price of 25 million Euros, Barcelona announced on its website Tuesday.
Umtiti is a very good defender, has good pace and fits in well with the Barcelona style of play (on paper) because of his accurate passing.
Umtiti joins a Barcelona back line that includes talented defenders such as Gerard Pique, Jeremy Mathieu, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba.
