Lorient is about to lose its left-back Arsène Kouassi, who has attracted the attention of Marseille. According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the Phocaeans have made an approach for the Lorient defender.

What's happening ?

Marseille is interested in Kouassi, but the club's financial problems could prevent the transfer. Paris FC could take advantage of this, as contacts have been made between the Parisian club and the player's entourage.

Why is this important for Lorient ?

Losing Kouassi could be a blow for Lorient, who are counting on him for the next season. The Breton club must find a quality replacement to avoid losing competitiveness.

What comes next ?

Lorient must now focus on the next season, with a squad that could be modified. Here is Lorient's current standing: | Ranking | Points | | --- | --- | | 9th | 45 |
