Umtiti was already seeing his performance dip before the injury while all that Man United BS was going on. At this point... he can leave. Lenglet right now is on a level Umtiti hasn't reached for us yet, even at his height.
Thats just not true. His first season Umtiti was one of our best performing players and with no GOAT-Pique at his side. I would say top 5 best CB in the world. He was difintely better than Pique, and its easier for a >CB to play alongside this version of Pique. The following half season he was a beast on another level and probably the best in the world. A level above Lenglet has been for most of the time here. Performances like tonight he had on a weekly basis. And then United-started and then his injury, in the second half of his second season here.
And thats just level wise.
Considering their pretty different profiles, his lack of ability on the ball (raids and killer passes through the lines) isnt important because pIque provides that for now, but will as he is now be enough with de ligt on his side? We dont know yet. Umtiti has a rare profile and more fitting for barca style, at least one of the cb's should have such a profile (pique for now) in barca.
Pique, Lenglet, Umtiti and possibly De Ligt for next season.
As things stand now, with Griezmann being the most rumoured forward, its more likely:
Pique, Lenglet, de ligt, todibo and possibly umtiti.
