Mário Rui, after seven and a half years at Nápoles, terminated his contract and is now a free agent. His former agent, Mario Giuffredi, revealed to Tuttomercato that he offered Mário Rui several options, including Lille. Despite having a closed contract, Mário Rui decided against the move.

Mario Rui was presented with potential transfer solutions to Lille, along with other clubs, but no formal offers were made due to lack of approval from the player.

Mario Rui has reportedly turned down offers from Lille. The player is currently not in favor with the new coach, Antonio Conte, after a disappointing last season. Despite the offers, he is still receiving his salary until 2026.

The player has refused an offer from Lille. The offer included a longer and richer contract compared to his current one with Napoli.
