Pushed towards the exit at FC Nantes, Alban Lafont is however not within the reach of all budgets…
The arrival of Anthony Lopes (OL, 34 years old) “well underway” at FC Nantes (according to two people close to the matter interviewed by Ouest-France), Alban Lafont will be given a little more indication of leaving this winter with the Canaries .
