Umtiti has suffered from recurring knee problems, which supporters hope won’t crop up again in 2021/22.
His injury issues saw him miss out on a place in Didier Deschamps’ France squad at Euro 2020 in the summer.
They have seen him slip down the Barca pecking order, and he’s potentially now fourth in Koeman’s mind.
If he can stay fit, aged 27, there is still plenty of time for him to salvage his career at Camp Nou and prove to Laporta that he’s a player worth keeping in this new era under Koeman’s watch.
