Eli Junior Kroupi, a highly valued player at FC Lorient, has been in discussions with the club regarding a contract extension beyond June 2026. He has already refused a first offer of extension. Arnaud Tanguy, the general director of Lorient, mentioned that they are in talks with Kroupi and have made a second offer. The club's intention is not to sell him immediately, as they hope he will continue to play a full season with them and possibly another, potentially in Ligue 1. However, there is a scenario where he could be sold but still remain with the club, although it is too early to confirm this possibility.
