Di Marzio seems pretty excited about the transfer. He reports that “advanced talks” are taking place and Umtiti is “very close” to joining Lecce. Moreover, the talk is of a loan move for the 28-year-old center-back who has already been told he’s not in Barcelona’s plans for thei season.
It’s thought Umtiti has accepted that he needs to find a new club but that’s not been an easy task for the Frenchman due to his lack of game time in recent season.
Lecce is a new name in the frame but could be a good option for Umtiti. Marco Baroni’s side are back in the Italian top flight after being promoted last season.
