Lille president confirms Man Utd, Liverpool target Soumare can go

Lille are prepared to listen to offers for Boubakary Soumare.

Soumare has been told he can leave the club following interest from Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool earlier this year.

LOSC president Gerard Lopez said: "I am going to sit down with the players and their entourages this week.

"We need to sit down with the players and speak. In terms of Boubakary, as we play with two in the midfield… The door is open if he wants to leave.

"We have had important offers from clubs where he did not want to go.

"All three parties have to agree for a transfer to occur… He's quite impatient to play and that's normal. It shows ambition.

"He will undoubtedly leave the club, the door is open. We have concrete offers. We will talk in the coming days."
