Samuel Umtiti (born 14 November 1993) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Spanish club FC Barcelona and the France national team.
He began his professional career with Lyon in 2012, winning the Coupe de France and Trophée des Champions that year. He totalled 170 games and five goals before a €25 million transfer to Barcelona in 2016.
After winning 47 caps and scoring three goals at youth level, including winning the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup, Umtiti represented France at UEFA Euro 2016.
Club career
Lyon
Umtiti was included in a Lyon squad for the first time on 16 August 2011, remaining an unused substitute as they defeated Rubin Kazan 3–1 in the Champions League play-off round first leg. He made his professional debut on 8 January 2012, playing the entire match in a 3–1 victory over local rivals Lyon-Duchère in a Coupe de France game. Six days later, he made his Ligue 1 debut in a 1–0 away defeat against Montpellier, playing the full game. He made a total of 18 appearances in all competitions in his first season.
In the 2012–13 season, he became a more regular member of the Lyon first team. On 12 January 2013, against Troyes in a 2–1 away win, he scored his first career goal. He finished the season with 32 appearances in all competitions and two goals.
Barcelona
On 30 June 2016, Umtiti signed for Spanish La Liga side FC Barcelona for a fee of €25 million.
International career
Youth
Umtiti is a France youth international, having represented his nation from under-17 to under-21 levels. He was an integral member of the team that won France's first ever FIFA U-20 World Cup. He played in almost every game but missed the final against Uruguay due to a red card received in the semi-final against Ghana.
Senior
Umtiti was born and spent his first two years in the Cameroonian city of Yaoundé. The Fédération Camerounaise de Football and former international Roger Milla met his advisors in an unsuccessful attempt to get him to represent their team.
Umtiti, who was uncapped at senior level, was selected by France national team manager Didier Deschamps to be part of his Euro 2016 squad following an injury to fellow centre-back Jérémy Mathieu. Umtiti made his senior debut on 3 July by playing every minute of the quarter-final against Iceland at the Stade de France, replacing the suspended Adil Rami. He became the first outfield player since Gabriel De Michèle at the 1966 FIFA World Cup to win his first cap for France by appearing in the finals of a major tournament and was accurate with all 77 of his passes during the match, which France won 5–2.
He made his third appearance for France in the Euro 2016 final against Portugal and put in a good performance in defence, although France narrowly lost 1–0 through a 109th-minute winner by Portugal's Éder.
