Michaël Ciani (born 6 April 1984) is a French professional footballer who plays for French club FC Lorient as a central defender.
Club career
His performances during the 2008–09 season led to increased speculation that Ciani would sign with another club with the player preferring a move to the Premier League over Ligue 1 contenders Bordeaux and Paris Saint-Germain.
On 28 July 2009, Ciani and Bordeaux reached an agreement on a four-year contract with the Aquitaine-based club paying Lorient €4 million for his services. The defender was recruited by Laurent Blanc as a replacement for the departed Souleymane Diawara who joined Marseille.
On 18 July 2015, Ciani reached an agreement on a 2-year contract with Sporting CP after his 3-year contract with Lazio ended. Roughly one month later, however, he signed a two-year deal with RCD Espanyol.
On 31 August 2016, after only three matches for the Pericos, Ciani rescinded his contract.
International career
Ciani made his international debut for France in 2010.
