A rather sad situation.
A career at a standstill.
Details: According to BarcaTimes, citing DiarioAS, 31-year-old French defender Samuel Umtiti is seriously considering retirement.
Reports say Umtiti has multiple offers from Middle Eastern clubs, but he is unsure about continuing his career in that direction.
Umtiti is now a free agent after his contract with Lille ended this summer.
The turning point in his career came during the 2018 World Cup in Moscow, where he played a key role in France’s successful team. However, before the tournament, he declined a crucial knee surgery that could have kept him out of the event. This decision is seen as the start of a significant decline in the Frenchman’s career.
