The 33-year-old has not been short of offers ahead of the new campaign including a lucrative switch to the MLS with Los Angeles FC. 

Eredivisie side Utrecht, which is the midfielder's hometown club, have also registered their interest.

But according to , he will end speculation over his future by penning a contract with the Ligue 1 side.

And if he does sign on the dotted line, he will look to forge a partnership with ex-Liverpool flop Balotelli ahead of their Champions League campaign.
