RIO DE JANEIRO, July 14 (Xinhua) -- Lille have submitted a formal offer to sign Santos midfielder Thiago Maia, according to the Brazilian club's president Modesto Roma.
"A proposal has been made and this weekend we will be taking a good look at it," Roma told the Uol news service.
The French Ligue 1 club is understood to have offered 14 million euros for the 20-year-old Brazil under-23 international.
Maia has also reportedly attracted interest from Juventus, Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.
Meanwhile Corinthians have reportedly rejected a 15 million-euro bid from CSKA Moscow for left-back Guilherme Arana.
The 20-year-old has been a standout performer this year for Corinthians, who currently lead Brazil's Serie A standings with 11 wins from 13 matches.
