Lorient president Loïc Fery had previous stated: “Laurent Koscielny told me in London that he wanted to end his career in Lorient.”

Having enjoyed his spell at the club between 2009 and 2010 there is mutual interest between the parties to facilitate a move before the end of the window.

However, Koscielny’s large salary of €3m would be tricky for the relegation threatened club to cover.
