It’s the little bomb of the day from FC Nantes. According to L’Equipe, Waldemar Kita is said to have discussed a sale of the club on the banks of the Erdre with an English investment fund managed by the family of Trent Alexander-Arnold, the Liverpool defender. The negotiations reportedly failed due to financial issues.
In the process, Waldemar Kita denied the allegations to Presse-Océan. “If this is true? But this is all bullshit! Where did this come from? How do you expect a serious man who wants to buy a club to go through a journalist? Trent Alexander-Arnold? But I don’t even know him! I just spoke to my lawyer, I asked him: “Who is this guy?” He told me that his father was in finance and that they have a few players and other agents…” explains Waldemar Kita, the Nantes president, categorically: “I have never video-conferenced with anyone. Never in my life.”
According to the regional daily, these leaks could serve the interests of the Alexander-Arnold clan, which is looking to buy a Ligue 1 club, and is also said to have looked into the situations of Toulouse and Saint-Etienne. However, there is no smoke without fire in Nantes. According to Ouest-France, a close friend of Waldemar Kita assures that the president of the Canaries is a seller
“100%”…
