Lille star Boufal hints at summer exit

"Yes it's true, there is more of a chance that I will leave LOSC. I have no preference for a particular league, it's the project that will interest me," Boufal, 22, said at a press conference at Lille's training ground on Monday.

"Beyond that my personal objective is to keep progressing as a player and that means getting playing time.

"I am not ruling anything out. There is everything I need here to progress as a player. It wouldn't bother me if I had to stay."

Boufal, who was born in France but recently chose to play international football for Morocco, has scored 11 goals in Ligue 1 this season for Lille.

However, the former Angers player struggled for much of Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the French League Cup final.

Linked with the likes of PSG, Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur in recent months, reports in France have indicated it will take a fee of upwards of 20 million euros ($22.5 million) to tempt Lille to sell in the summer.
