Lorient have pulled out of a deal for Swansea defender Franck Tabanou.
The Ligue 1 club had been lining up a move for the former France Under 21 international on an initial loan with a view to a permanent switch.
However, they have chosen not to follow through with the transfer of the 27-year-old.
This has left the door ajar for Marseille who are interested in the ex-Toulouse and St Etienne player who only joined the Swans last year.
