Islam Slimani's agents are working on an exit from Leicester City next month.
The Algeria international, while welcomed back into the Foxes squad this season by manager Brendan Rodgers, has struggled for minutes so far.
And L'Equipe says his agents are now working on a transfer - with a return to France on the agenda after last season's loan spell with AS Monaco.
Slimani has been offered to Olympique Marseille and Olympique Lyon.
OM have rejected the approach, while the striker is under consideration at OL should they sell Memphis Depay in January.
