French defender Samuel Umtiti has turned down the proposal to leave Barcelona this summer, Spanish publication Marca reports.
The centre-back has fallen down the pecking order at the Blaugrana in recent seasons amid knee injury concerns, and he is currently just a squad player.
Ronald Koeman confirmed the same in a recent press conference, but it appears that the World Cup winner is prepared to stay for another season.
The Frenchman has two years left on his current deal, and believes that he can play a role for the club after working hard in the gym to strengthen his knee.
