Lille full-back will weigh up his options in the summer

Lille full-back Mathieu Debuchy claims Spanish giants Valencia have expressed an interest in acquiring his services. The 26-year-old is under contract with his current employers until 2015, but has seen a number of his colleagues head for pastures new in recent times. Lille's double-winning heroics in 2010/11 saw their key men fall under the spotlight, and many have taken the decision to try their luck elsewhere. Debuchy could be the next to move on, with the France international admitting that he is prepared to consider a switch. He is keen to see out the season with Lille before turning attention to his future, but says he has already been made aware of interest from the Primera Liga.

Focus

"It is part of my thinking," he said in L'Equipe. "I know Valencia are interested in me. "But I am focused on Le Championnat for now. I want to end the season positively here before thinking about a possible transfer. "I also have to accept that I am under contract and I won't make the choice."
