Nathan Zézé has been regularly courted on the transfer market for over a year. The reason? A profile much appreciated by recruiters and a certain margin of progression. According to our information, the central defender of FC Nantes is followed with great interest by Villarreal in Spain and Neom in Saudi Arabia. And even more. Villarreal has just made an offer of € 22 million to tear it from the Canaries. A project that appeals to Zézé, who would join a qualified club for the Champions League.
Linked until 2028 with his training club, Zeze is not against a departure, and Nantes could yield to a very interesting amount. But you have to pay attention to the competition since Neom also pushes, with an offer of € 20 million, as also relayed by Ouest-France. Neom has been fond of Ligue 1 players in recent weeks, with Alexandre Lacazette and Marcin Bulka who have joined Saïd Benrahma.
Nantes delay but …
Previously, Nathan Zézé had attracted the interest of Bournemouth in England, in search of a central defender, but also of Inter Milan. The Italian club had checked the name of the 20 -year -old French hope. Already last year, the Italian club had approached the player. But today, it is for the moment a duel between Villarreal and Neom who is looming. Faced with this influx of contenders, Nantes wishes to delay, in order to obtain the best possible offer.
Gaucher central defender, Nathan Zézé had obtained 17 tenure in Ligue 1 last season, and the new Nantes coach, Luis Castro, would like to rely on him this season, but that already seems compromised. Nantes therefore risks losing a new element, after having already given way Chirivella, Douglas Augusto, Castelletto, Moses Simon and left free Nicolas Pallois or Tino Kadewere. A great upheaval.
