The 33-year-old French centre-back has one more year on his contract and British media reported that Ligue 1 clubs Girondins Bordeaux and Olympique Lyonnais were interested in signing him.
“Laurent Koscielny has refused to travel to the U.S. for our pre-season tour,” Arsenal said in a statement.
“We are very disappointed by Laurent’s actions, which are against our clear instructions. We hope to resolve this matter and will not be providing any further comment at this time.”
