The French club are reportedly waiting for the player to return from his post-World Cup holiday before holding talks with his representatives to evaluate all options, including a potential stay. While Lille remain open to negotiations, they are believed to have slapped a hefty €100 million (£85 million) price tag on the youngster, a fee expected to naturally filter out various admirers. In contrast to rival suitors who are willing to loan him back, City prefer to integrate the midfielder directly into their first-team squad this summer.
