Rio Mavuba seems likely to continue his journey with LOSC (Lille) despite previous speculations about a potential departure during the summer transfer window. The Franco-Angolan midfielder had expressed openness to considering interesting proposals from French or foreign clubs, but it appears that, at the moment, he is inclined to spend another season with Lille.
According to reports from L’Équipe, the 29-year-old player might be retained by Lille, especially given the departures of other key players such as Aurelien Chedjou (to Galatasaray) and Dimitri Payet (to Marseille), along with the probable departure of Lucas Digne to Monaco. Mavuba clarified in an interview with the daily, “You shouldn’t make up a story. I’m not 100% sure, but today I didn’t get any offers either. It’s not like I had a choice!”
This statement indicates that, as of the given time, Mavuba had not received any offers, and the situation could influence his decision to stay with Lille for the upcoming season.
