Lille director general Frederic Paquet has admitted that striker Salomon Kalou could be in line to leave the club this summer.
The Ivorian striker, who has been linked with both Arsenal and Liverpool over the course of the last year, joined Lille from Chelsea in 2012, fresh off helping the Blues win the Champions League.
Kalou found the back of the net 16 times in 38 Ligue 1 games for Lille last term, but the northern French side may still bid farewell to the 28-year-old before the 2014/15 campaign rolls around.
"The goal is to keep almost all of the squad", Paquet told L'Equipe.
"Only Salomon Kalou is likely to leave us", he added.
