Samuel Umtiti reportedly wants to leave Olympique Lyonnais, according to Le Progrès. A source from the club confirmed that Umtiti has expressed his desire to move on, though the reasons behind this decision haven’t been disclosed yet.
At just 20 years old, Umtiti is one of OL’s brightest prospects, so this news is certainly disappointing for Lyon fans—especially as the club had recently signed Lindsay Rose to strengthen the defense.
His transfer value is estimated at around €10 million, which could provide a nice financial boost for Lyon. However, the club has decided not to sell another key player, Maxime Gonalons, indicating they want to keep some core stability.
