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.
