The midfielder struggled with injuries during his first season at the King Power Stadium and now has his heart set on a return to Ligue 1
Nampalys Mendy is "set on" signing for Bordeaux and leaving Leicester City after a single season in the Premier League.
The midfielder joined the Foxes on a four-year deal from Nice in July 2016 and was expected to be the replacement for N'Golo Kante, who moved to Chelsea after the club's remarkable title triumph.
Mendy started Leicester's second game of the top-flight season, a 0-0 home draw with Arsenal in August, but injuries restricted the 25-year-old to only three more league appearances all season, the most recent of which was in January.
