Lorient has purchased Mamba Dieng from Marseille despite his knee problems, which were discovered during his medicals.
Everyone thought that Lorient will pull out of the deal, due to the discovery during the medicals, however, Lorient went ahead to purchase the Senegalese player.
This might probably be a reason to let Terem Moffi go, as the player has insisted on leaving the club, purchasing Dieng might just be an opportunity to let Moffi move to Nice.
