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.
