Coming off an impressive World Cup performance where he started all three games and more than held his own against the likes of Brazil’s Antony, Serbia’s Dušan Tadiu0107 and Switzerland’s Xherdan Shaqiri, it’s entirely possible that Nouhou is on the radar of some quality European teams. It’s also possible one of those teams might be willing to spend seven figures to secure a transfer.
However, there is no reason to believe that Ligue 1’s Lille is one of those teams, at least not based on the reports that have been circulating online recently.
Despite several reports citing nebulous “Cameroon media”, there is absolutely no reliable evidence that Lille has made any effort to sign Nouhou and certainly not for a package that could be as big as $8 million.
