The 26-year-old has attracted a lot of interest from a host of top European sides in recent times and impressive performances by the Frenchman at Euro 2012, have further raised his profile.

While talking to reporters, Debuchy stated that he has massive respect for Lille but he wants to leave the club despite the wishes of the coach and other players.
“Despite my commitment to Lille, I am 100 percent committed to leaving. The club is in my heart but I want to leave LOSC. The coach wants to keep me but I will not change my opinion.''

leave.
"The discussions are not going very well. For now I am stuck in Lille. LOSC want to find my replacement before I am released. Ten, fifteen players have been suggested to them but still nothing happens. There must be a little goodwill. It disappoints me and
bothers me.”
