Lille made official this Saturday the signing of Samuel Umtiti, 29-year-old central defender. The former Barcelona player arrives at no cost to Paulo Fonseca’s squad, after the seven-season connection to the Catalans has come to an end.
Umtiti returns to Ligue 1 after an interesting season at Lecce in Serie A: 25 official games, 2115 minutes of competition.
The French international turns out to be the natural successor to José Fonte in Lille’s squad and defense axis. The highly experienced Portuguese signed for SC Braga in recent days.
