Lens is considering all options for Hervé Koffi's future, but it is unlikely that Koffi will accept a role as a backup to Robin Risser, which makes his departure from Lens the most probable outcome.

Angers would like to keep Hervé Koffi, who is currently on loan from Lens, for next season. Manager Alexandre Dujeux stated that it would be very good to be able to keep him and that Koffi knows the manager wants him at Angers next season. However, Angers was unable to include a purchase option in the loan due to DNCG salary cap restrictions. Koffi's gross monthly salary at Lens is around €80,000, with Angers covering about half, while the highest salaries at Angers are €50,000 per month. In May 2025, owner Saïd Chabane warned there would be no paid transfers and that this situation could last for two or three years. Koffi stated that he is under contract with Lens until 2028 and will let his agents decide with the clubs, including Angers, Lens, and any other clubs that show interest.

Hervé Koffi, a 28-year-old goalkeeper and international player from Burkina Faso, is expected to join Angers on loan from Lens. This move comes as Angers' current first-choice goalkeeper, Yahia Fofana, is on his way out. The club is actively working on strengthening their squad following a series of contract renewals and strategic changes, having recently received approval from the DNCG with certain financial constraints. Koffi's arrival is part of Angers' efforts to bolster their team alongside the signing of Louis Mouton, a midfielder arriving on a free transfer from Saint-Étienne.
