Samuel Umtiti has left the door open for a future return to Lyon, while the Barcelona defender has queried the hairstyle choice of fellow Frenchman and Camp Nou colleague Antoine Griezmann.

A World Cup-winning defender has seen questions asked of his ongoing presence in Catalunya on a regular basis in recent transfer windows.

Premier League interest has been mooted, with Arsenal having been heavily linked with the France international.

Umtiti has, however, expressed no desire to part company with Barca despite facing fierce competition for places.

That remains the 26-year-old’s stance for now, but a man who represented Lyon between 2011 and 2016 admits he could head back to his roots at some stage – potentially once his playing days are over.

Quizzed on his future plans, Umtiti told Team Orange Football: “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.”

For now, Umtiti is very much focused on his playing career in Spain.

He has only taken in three appearances this season, but is hoping to see more minutes as the campaign progresses. (Goal)
