What happened: Herve Koffi is set to leave RC Lens this summer after his loan spell at SCO Angers ended. Angers, hampered by financial restrictions, could not make the move permanent and instead signed Anthony Lopes on a free transfer following the expiry of his FC Nantes contract. Koffi returns to parent club Lens, but with Robin Risser established as the No. 1, he is not expected to be retained.

Why it matters: The move clears a goalkeeping logjam at Lens, where Risser's rise into Didier Deschamps' France setup has left Koffi displaceable despite a strong loan campaign. For Koffi, a fresh exit means finding regular minutes elsewhere at the peak of his career rather than sitting behind an entrenched starter.

What to watch: Watch which of the three interested clubs firms up a bid, and whether Lens push for a permanent sale or another loan before the window closes.
