Samuel Yves Um Titi (French pronunciation:[samɥɛlumtiti];[4] born 14 November 1993), known as Samuel Umtiti, is a professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Ligue 1 club Lille.
Umtiti began his professional career with Lyon in 2012, winning both the Coupe de France and Trophée des Champions in his first year. He totalled 170 games and three goals before a €25 million transfer to La Liga club Barcelona in 2016, winning three Copa del Rey and two league titles whilst a part of the side. After a loan in Italy to Lecce, he returned to France with Lille in 2023.
Born in Cameroon, Umtiti holds both French and Cameroonian nationalities. After winning 47 caps and scoring three goals at youth level, including winning the 2013 U-20 World Cup, he made his senior debut for the France national team at UEFA Euro 2016, where they reached the final. Two years later, he was part of the squad that won the 2018 FIFA World Cup. He scored the only goal of the match in the semi-final against Belgium.[5][6]
