Ignatius Ganago is preparing to write a new chapter in his career. The 25-year-old Cameroonian striker, lacking playing time at FC Nantes, will join Major League Soccer (MLS) this winter.
A predictable end to the adventure in Nantes
Despite his 14 caps with the Cameroon national team, Ganago has failed to establish himself as a key element in the Nantes squad this season. Faced with increased competition in attack and lackluster performances, the player was no longer part of the technical staff's plans. As soon as the transfer window opened, his departure seemed inevitable.
A loan with an advantageous purchase option
According to The TeamGanago will join the New England Revolution on a one-year loan. This loan includes a compulsory purchase option set at 3.5 million euros, provided that the player plays at least 60% of the season's matches. This clause seems accessible, given the importance that the Revolution wishes to give it. The Cameroonian must undergo his medical examination at the beginning of next week before finalizing his transfer.
A new challenge across the Atlantic
This departure represents a great opportunity for Ganago to relaunch his career in a rapidly expanding championship. The MLS, with its growing attractiveness and its ambitious projects, could offer the player an ideal framework to flourish. For FC Nantes, this transfer also makes it possible to downsize its workforce while ensuring a significant financial return in the event of activation of the purchase option.
