Inter target Sofiane Boufal confirms he’ll probably leave Lille but has “no preference” about which League he goes to.
The French club admitted last week that they would be unable to hold on to the attacking midfielder, and the Moroccan international discussed his future with L’Equipe.
“Every player wants to go as far as possible,” Boufal explained.
Inter target Sofiane Boufal confirms he’ll probably leave Lille but has “no preference” about which League he goes to.
The French club admitted last week that they would be unable to hold on to the attacking midfielder, and the Moroccan international discussed his future with L’Equipe.
“Every player wants to go as far as possible,” Boufal explained.
“I think it would be good if Lille could finish in a European place, then later we’ll think about my future.
“Will I leave? The club has made a statement to that effect, there’s no problem with it, that’s their right.
“I have no preference for one League, it’s the project which will interest me. Yes, it’s true that there’s more chance I’ll leave Lille [than stay], that’s clear.
“After that my personal goal is to progress, I need time to play. I don’t want to fly too close to the sun.
“I’m not excluding any option right now, I love this club and city. Everything is here to progress, I wouldn’t mind staying. I’ll take my time to decide well, I’ll have a good talk with my family.”
Boufal has 11 goals and four assists in Ligue 1 this season, but has still been left on the bench on occasion.
“I’m disgusted when I’m on the bench, I don’t have to lie about that. I immediately wanted to prove that I belong on the pitch.
“That’s why I’m fighting every day to be a starter.”
