Everton candidate for Umtiti (Barcelona)
Since the 2018 World Cup and his coronation with the France team, Samuel Umtiti has disappeared from the radar.
The central defender (27), whose left knee has been squealing for a very long time, has not been able to play a single minute with FC Barcelona this season.
A return to Lyon, his training club, did not take place last summer because of a salary that was too high, estimated at 335,000 euros per month.
According to
Mundo Deportivo
, Barça are still trying to sell him by all means, with a price set at € 12m.
A club would have chosen to recruit the French next January: Everton, under the leadership of his coach Carlo Ancelotti.
8th in the Premier League, the Toffees are experiencing major defensive problems with 20 goals conceded in their last 11 matches.
For his part, Umtiti has returned to training and could even play again with Barça, who however wants to offload his salary in order to limit the consequences of the crisis.

Nice: Vieira in the hot seat
Almost eliminated in the Europa League and 11th in Ligue 1, OGC Nice is not up to expectations this season.
His coach, Patrick Vieira, is under fire from critics, and not only from outside the club.
According to
Nice-Matin
, President Jean-Pierre Rivère went down to the locker room after the setback at home against Dijon (1-3) to shake the walls.
The team
confirms that the support of the leaders, including that of the director of football Julien Fournier, could soon reach its limits.
