FC Nantes must face a big conflict for the end of this summer transfer window.

These days, the management of FC Nantes would have spared this file. While the club is going through a very difficult summer with a start to the season marked by two initial setbacks (against Toulouse then Lille), a senior player in the squad did not hesitate to clash with his leaders.

The summer transfer window closes in two weeks. A deadline which tends to increase the tension behind the scenes of FC Nantes. Because according to information from L’Équipe, Jean-Charles Castelleto would have expressed his wish not to participate in the match against AS Monaco, scheduled for this Friday at 9 p.m. on behalf of the 3rd day of Ligue 1.

Mercato: a showdown started with a senior player

This decision is akin to a real standoff in a period when the Nantes team needs the services of its defender. After recording the departure of Andrei Girotto, Castelleto remains an essential element in Pierre Aristouy’s system. But the former Auxerrois would like to pack his bags to take up a new challenge. And he would not have appreciated that his management did not open the dialogue with the clubs which are interested in him. L’Équipe notably mentions the approaches of Trabzonspor and Cagliari.

While the positions of the two parties are very far apart, Nantes is forced to anticipate a negative outcome, namely the departure of its player. With this in mind, the name of the Swiss defender Eray Cömert evolving in Valencia would be studied.
