Soumare is a transfer target for Manchester United and Chelsea, according to the Express.
The two Premier League clubs were believed to be in a tug of war for the young midfielder in January.
The interest in Lille's latest gem has come from far and wide, with Real Madrid, AC Milan, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur all said to be keeping tabs.
"There is a situation at the club that I do not comment on," he told L'Equipe.
"In seasons, there can be tension between a player and his club. We'll settle this internally and find a solution."
Manchester United could be looking for a Pogba replacement come summer amid speculation surrounding the Frenchman's future.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are believed to be fearing a similar fate will befall them with regards to N'Golo Kante.
Soumare's abilities are understood to fit both moulds, hence the heavy links to both clubs.
