Official: Milan target Dorgu extends with Lecce until 2029 – the details

Lecce have extended the contract of defender Samuel Umtiti until 2029, despite reported interest from AC Milan.

The 29-year-old joined Lecce on loan from Barcelona in the summer and has made 16 appearances in Serie A this season.

Lecce have now exercised their option to buy Umtiti for a fee of €10 million, and the Frenchman has signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract with the club.

The details of Umtiti's new contract:

• Length: 4.5 years
• Salary: €2.5 million per year
• Release clause: €30 million

Umtiti has been capped 31 times by France and was part of the squad that won the World Cup in 2018.

He has also won the Copa del Rey three times with Barcelona and the Ligue 1 title with Lyon.

Umtiti's extension is a major boost for Lecce, who are currently 13th in Serie A.

The club will be hoping that Umtiti can help them avoid relegation and establish themselves in Serie A.
