Lille has shown interest in Alexander Djiku, the 30-year-old Ghanaian centre-back, as a possible replacement if their player Bafode Diakite departs from the club. Djiku, who is currently with Fenerbahçe, has garnered attention from numerous European clubs, including Roma and Nice, due to his impressive performance last season, where he played in 38 official matches. His contract with Fenerbahçe is due to expire at the end of the next season, making him a viable candidate for Lille. This interest is part of a larger strategy by clubs to prepare their teams for the forthcoming season, with Djiku's market value currently estimated at €6.50 million according to Transfermarkt.
