The transfer window is currently fairly calm in Nantes. At least in the direction of arrivals. The Canaries, who struggled to maintain Ligue 1 last season, have hitherto spent less than 4 million euros to enlist Youssef El Arabi, Uros Radakovic, Hyeok-Kyu Kwon, Chidozie Awaziem and Johann Lepenant, definitively bought at OL.
The FCN funds, however, have been well filled with the sales of Moses Simon in Paris FC (€ 7 million), Douglas Augusto in Krasnodar (€ 6.5 million), Jean-Charles Castelletto in Al-Duhail (€ 4 million) and Pedro Chirivella in Panathinaikos (€ 2 million). But obviously not enough to the taste of Waldemar Kita who, given the announced decline in TV rights, undoubtedly prefers to remain cautious.
A transfer to 20 M € at FC Nantes?
Things could however evolve quickly because a big transfer would be in the pipes. According to Foot transfer windowNathan Zézé could also bend baggage during this summer transfer window. With a very large check for Nantes. Two foreign clubs would be interested in the profile of the young French defender (20 years old), under contract until 2028.
Villarreal, in Spain, and Neom SC, in Saudi Arabia, would have made an offer for the international hopes. The “yellow submarine” would have offered Canaries 22 million euros while the new club of Alexandre Lacazette would have positioned itself at nearly 20 million euros. Such a sale could then accelerate Nantes recruitment.
