According to Team Talk, clubs in Italy, France, and Scotland are considering signing Illan Meslier. His former club Lorient is mentioned as competing to sign him and as needing to wait until July 1, when they can sign the goalkeeper as a free agent.

Leeds United are ready to sell Meslier in January, with several clubs already showing interest, according to Teamtalk. Clubs in France, Spain, and Italy, including Inter Milan, Lorient, and Valencia, have reportedly monitored his situation. Meslier’s contract expires in the summer of 2026, and according to sources, the preferred route would be to accept a modest fee rather than have him leave for free.

Illan Meslier's former club, Lorient, was among a number of teams interested in signing the 25-year-old French goalkeeper, who was widely expected to leave Leeds United this summer. Rangers, Leicester, and Trabzonspor also showed interest, but Leeds were unable to offload the keeper. As a result, no deal was completed and he remains at the club, with just under 10 months left on his contract. According to Transfermarkt, the player has a current market value of €15.00m.
