Lyon: Yann M'Vila is likely to join Arsenal or Real Madrid next year, according to his Rennes team-mate and friend Kader Mangane. M'Vila was the subject of four bids "of around £26 million" from Champions League clubs including Arsenal during last summer, according to Rennes.
Mangane believes it is inevitable that the highly coveted defensive midfielder will be sold by the Ligue 1 club in the next 12 months.
"There has been no decision taken so far," Mangane told Goal.com. "He might go to England but he also likes the Spanish league. I don't think he will leave in January but I think he will join Real Madrid or Arsenal next summer.
"The top clubs are right to scout him as I see him with a big career in front of him. Yann has the potential to be one of the biggest players in the world. He has extraordinary abilities."
Mangane, who has been converted from a midfielder to a centre-half during his three years at Rennes, has watched M'Vila, 21, come through the ranks into the first team.
"You can see he is a fantastic player from what he does in training," explained the 28-year-old. "Yann is good enough to play anywhere in the world. He is a complete player. He has a good eye for the game, he is technically excellent and he is also very good at defending and regaining balls."
