Several press reports have revealed that the 31-year-old Congolese defender has already rejected several lucrative offers from South America. Other reports have revealed that LOSC in France wants to sign the player and is also offering him a lucrative deal.
In a strategic move to address a key vacancy in their defensive line, Lille OSC is turning to an experienced international solution. According to exclusive reports from L'Équipe, the Northern French club is finalizing a short-term deal for a Congolese international defender.
This swift maneuver comes as a direct response to the recent departure of key right-back Bafodé Diakité, who completed a transfer to Premier League side Bournemouth earlier this summer. Rather than seeking a long-term commitment, Lille's management has opted for a shrewd, temporary fix, aiming to bring in proven quality and stability to navigate the upcoming season.
