The central Samuel Umtitia 29-year-old former Barcelona player, was presented this Saturday as a new Lille footballer, who will play in the Conference League, and said that he feels “very happy” to return to France seven years later, during which he chained physical problems, especially from 2018.
The world champion with France in 2018, formed in the Lyon Olympics -club in which he played until 2016-, is looking for a new opportunity in front-line football after his loan at the Lecce Italian from last year.

Umtiti arrives free at Lille after reaching an agreement to terminate the contract that bound him to Barcelona until June 30, 2026.
