Umtiti makes an express trip to Lyon before the Barça training session
Umtiti, it was revealed, travelled to his home city to resolve some personal matters, and will return in time to take part in the afternoon session (7.30 pm).
Samuel Umtiti travelled on Wednesday morning to Lyon, his hometown, to resolve some personal matters, and will return in time to participate in Barça's training session, scheduled for 19.30.
Images of the player arriving at El Prat airport, picked up by El Chiringuito, triggered rumours about a possible departure of the French defender from Barça, but in truth, the player plans to return to Barcelona in time to participate in the training session scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, at 7.30 pm at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper.
Umtiti is one of Xavi's discards and despite having a valid contract, he will have to look for a way out. The French player, a World Cup winner in 2018, has already been linked with several teams, including some French ones. Umtiti renewed his contract last January in exchange for a salary reduction, and his contract was extended until June 2026.
