Lille head coach Christophe Galtier will not guarantee that Boubakary Soumare will still be a player of the Ligue 1 side at the end of January.
The promising midfielder has caught the attention of a glut of clubs after a strong start to the season, with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham among the teams associated with a move for him.
While the player himself has sought to dampen rumours that he could depart the Stade Pierre-Mauroy side, Galtier was not so decisive on the subject.
