Neal Maupay is not considered indispensable in Roberto De Zerbi's system at Marseille and will not be retained if a good offer is made. Lille has shown interest in Maupay's profile and appreciates his character. The club is considering him for participation in the UEFA Europa League. A transfer fee of 5 million euros has been set by Marseille.

Lille is reportedly keen on acquiring Neal Maupay from Olympique de Marseille, where he seems to have fallen out of favor with coach Roberto De Zerbi. Maupay, who transferred to Marseille a year ago from Everton, now finds himself as the fourth choice in the attacking lineup and has been left out of the squad for the opening Ligue 1 match against Rennes. Lille, along with Nice and Udinese, is said to be interested in the 29-year-old French forward, although Lille has yet to make any official contact despite their interest. Maupay's contract with Marseille is due to expire in June 2028, and his market value is currently estimated by Transfermarkt to be €8 million.
