Anxious to give new impetus to his career, Alban Lafont asked to leave last summer. Things were clear with Antoine Kombouaré and the Nantes leaders, if a reasonable proposal presents itself, the Canaries will accept it. But this proposal never came. Only an offensive from Ajax Amsterdam, at the very end of the transfer window and for a loan, to shake up the Lafont file. Due to lack of offer, he therefore stayed at the club.
Lafont in doubt
Heroic in August, Alban Lafont became one of FC Nantes' problems in the fall. To the point of losing his number one position, in favor of his understudy recruited in the summer, Patrick Carlgren. Antoine Kombouaré wanted to make strong choices and Alban Lafont was one of the main victims. When in doubt, the Nantes goalkeeper is once again on the lookout for a departure.
The stranger and nothing else
A time followed by several Ligue 1 clubs, Alban Lafont today has two possible exit routes. In Spain, the Frenchman has a good rating and contacts have taken place with two clubs this year. But it is especially on the side of England that Sport Cover and its agent Meïssa N'Diaye could find him a way out.
