Lille must hold fresh talks with Everton to retain Andre Gomes beyond this season.
The Portugal international has experienced a solid season on loan at the Ligue 1 club.
He has played 21 games in all competitions, but Lille are still apprehensive about signing him permanently.
Jeunes Footeux states that the two clubs will hold discussions about the future for Gomes.
That could involve another loan or a cut price permanent deal to get his wages off Everton's books.
Gomes has struggled for his best form since a leg injury he sustained a few years ago.
