Talks are said to be underway between Bamo Meite and Lorient following an accepted bid by Marseille. The defender is seen as a priority signing for the buying side, who are now focused on finalising personal terms as they look to strengthen their squad and kick-on. The player has not yet agreed a contract, but the move is progressing rapidly behind the scenes and is expected to be completed in the coming days. Talks are underway, and with no competition emerging, Lorient are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. This season (25/26) Lorient have shipped 14 goals in 6 matches - 2.33 a game, which is well above the Ligue 1 average. Bamo Meite would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. Marseille continue to be linked with Lutsharel Geertruida, Kobbie Mainoo and Hamed Junior Traore while Lorient are also rumoured to be tracking Illan Meslier. Looking for Lorient transfer rumours?
