A number of reports on Thursday suggested that the 33-year-old was on his way out of the club, and LOSC have now confirmed Landreau's departure.
"LOSC and Mickael Landreau have decided by mutual consent to end their collaboration. The club and the goalkeeper have today [Friday] signed an agreement to end his contract with immediate effect," an official statement reads.
No details have been disclosed for the experienced goalkeeper's exit by either of the two parties involved.
Landreau started his professional career at Nantes and also wore the jersey of Paris Saint-Germain before joining Lille in the summer of 2009.
He has since made over 100 official appearances for the Dogues, winning a Coupe de France and Ligue 1 title in the process.

Former Dortmund goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was present at the Champions League festival earlier and he is tipping his former side for the title: "I think Bayern are a little stronger but if I was to have a bet, I would bet on Dortmund because that would win me more money!"
However, our tipster Hugh Wilson reckons that the value is a punt on both sides scoring in the first half ...

Dortmund are keen: They've already arrived at Wembley. Former Dortmund defender Christoph Metzelder can understand his old side's desire to get to the ground as early as possible. "This is the most horrible time ahead of the match," he told Sky Germany. "The tension is huge on the way to the stadium until you can finally warm-up and get on the pitch."
However, former Bayern boss Ottmar Hitzfeld says it doesn't matter when Dortmund arrive, they're still not going to lift the Champions League tonight: "Bayern has to win the title; it's just their time. They won't let a third final in four years slip away from them."

Now back to our man, Jay Jaffa, who is outside the ground:
"I've just had a chat with a man called Helmut. As you will see from the photo, Helmut arrived here by bicycle ... He said: 'It took me 10 days. I didn't see the sun once: it was raining, powerful winds, horrible, but I made it. I rode 554 miles to get here but ... I don't have a ticket.'
"Ouch! I feel for Helmut, he looks absolutely drained and I reckon he was relying on the gift of charity as his way in, but alas it is yet to find him."
