On-loan Evian TG striker Mathieu Duhamel will reportedly not be making a permanent switch to the club at the end of the season.
The 30-year-old joined Les Roses from parent club Caen for the current campaign and a long-term switch was thought to be possibility.
However, Le Dauphine claims that Duhamel's current agreement does not contain a buy-out option.
Furthermore, Evian are believed to be baulking at the player's wage demands and will not look to keep him beyond the end of this term.
Duhamel is said to be reluctant to rejoin Caen, and Nantes are reported to be plotting a deal for the forward.
