Samuel Umtiti suggests that he will look to leave Barcelona unless his position in the squad changes.

Barcelona centre-back Samuel Umtiti has hinted that he will look to leave the Spanish champions unless his current position within the squad changes.

The Frenchman was first choice at Barca during his first two seasons at the club but has since lost his starting role to Clement Lenglet.

Persistent injury problems have not helped Umtiti's cause, although Lenglet has developed into a dependable partner for Gerard Pique at the heart of the Catalan side's defence.

The 2018 World Cup winner has claimed that he 'would love to end his career at Barca', although much will seemingly depend on whether the 26-year-old can reclaim his spot in the side.

"You never know, it could happen, I don't know. I'd love it, I'd love to end my career here at Barca but I'm young, right," Sport quotes Umtiti as saying. "I have time and I have to play, play, play and win titles."

The former Lyon youngster made just his fourth appearance of the season against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night with Pique ruled out of the Champions League group clash through suspension.
