Mavuba completes Lille move

Mavuba completes Lille move

06 July 2008 - 12:34

Rio Mavuba has finally completed the long awaited return to his homeland France, as today he signed and sealed the transfer from Villarreal to French Ligue 1 side Lille.

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso
  • It is understood that Lille paid Villarreal £3 million for the privilege. Mavuba was unfortunate in La Liga last year, failing to impress in his maiden season.



    Mavuba was loaned out to Lille for the second half of the season, and is now ready to begin the next chapter of his career back in France.
