05, May 20th, Lille recently announced that several players will leave the team after the end of this season, including 31-year-old central defender Umtiti.

Umtiti's last appearance dates back to the French Cup between Lille and Athletic France on January 22 last year, which has been 16 months since then. Umtiti has been recovering from injuries after undergoing knee surgery in February last year. It was also because of the injury that changed Umtiti's entire career.

In the summer window of 2016, Barcelona signed Umtiti from Lyon for a transfer fee of 25 million euros. Two years before playing for Barcelona, ​​Umtiti firmly occupied the team's main central defender position, with a highest value of 70 million euros.

But after winning the World Cup with France in 2018, Umtiti was troubled by injuries. He only played 50 times for Barcelona in four seasons. He finally terminated his contract with Barcelona early in the summer window of 2023 and joined Lille as a free agent. Currently, the 31-year-old Umtitide has only 2 million euros in turn.

According to previous reports from Daily Sports, he considered termination of his contract with Umtiti in the middle of the season because he still received a high salary in Lyon.

According to statistics, Umtiti's days of absence due to injury have exceeded 3 years in his career, and it may be difficult for him to wear his jersey to play in the green field.
