chances of getting out of lily
According to Tavolieri, Thomas Meunier is likely to leave Lille this summer. His contract with the French side expires at the end of the month and a new deal is unlikely to be agreed.
He has been with them since 2024, signing on a free transfer after five months at Turkish side Trabzonspor. Since then he has made 84 appearances, scoring four goals and registering four assists.
Now he could be Premier League bound. Tavolieri reports that Hull are pushing to sign the defender this summer.
The Tigers need to boost their squad across the board after securing promotion via the playoffs last season. Manager Sergej Zakirovic has openly admitted He believes they need 12-15 signings this summer.
resolved in advanced talks
An experienced player like Meunier could prove to be a valuable addition. And, crucially, Tavolieri reports he is keen to make the move. That's already an obstacle in the way.
Hull have already made contact about a move this summer and 'advanced talks' are reportedly underway. There is no mention of any competition for the former Borussia Dortmund defender at this point.
He has been regularly linked with a move to the Premier League over the past few years. In fact, he has often made it clear that he would love to play for Manchester United.
That particular change never came to fruition, and neither did the others, but now he's about to get the move he's wanted for a long time. It seems Hull are already doing everything they can to secure the veteran on a free transfer in the coming weeks.
