Thomas Meunier, who will play for Belgium in the World Cup, stated that it could be beneficial for him to attend the tournament without a club, adding that possibilities will become available if things go well at the World Cup. Meunier said his goal is to stay with a competitive club, preferably one in European competitions, to remain visible to the national team coach. He specified he would only consider an exceptional offer from a distant country. Thomas Meunier also said that staying at Lille could be an option and that he wants to play until he is 40.

Thomas Meunier has received offers from several other clubs. Meunier said that he has already received phone calls and that a transfer can be arranged quickly, regardless of each club's needs. He stated that at this time, he could already sign with one of them, but that is not his intention. The player wants to give himself some time because he has particular desires. Meunier said he has always liked facing a challenge and that his situation can be beneficial to him. He is not in a hurry and added that he typically makes decisions just before a deadline, and that will not change with the choice of a club.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Thomas Meunier has left Lille as a free agent and is prepared for a new professional stage with talks to follow. The Belgium international right-back has decided to represent himself in talks with clubs and is not represented by any agency.

Voetbalnieuws.be reports that a potential summer transfer or a return to Belgium are possibilities for Thomas Meunier, as his contract in Rijsel is expiring.
