He expressed his desire to explore playing in other leagues such as Italy and England, indicating his openness to new challenges and opportunities.
Mavuba’s comments suggest that while he values his time at Lille and his potential involvement with the French national team, he remains open to the idea of broadening his horizons and experiencing different football cultures in other countries.
