Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti hints at future return to Lyon

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti reveals that he would consider a return to former club Lyon later in his career.

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti has hinted that he would consider a second spell at former club Lyon.

While Umtiti has made 101 appearances at Camp Nou since leaving Lyon in 2016, the centre-back has found himself out of favour over the past 12 months.

The likes of Arsenal have been linked with an approach for the France international, although it appears that the 26-year-old may prefer a return to his homeland.

Asked about his future plans, Umtiti told Sport: "I'd like to be a coach. I take notes from those I've worked under, their training sessions and what they do.

"Returning to Lyon is a possibility, as a player or as a coach."

Umtiti still has over three-and-a-half years remaining on his contract at the La Liga champions.
