His mistake against RC Lens, which cost his club a defeat (2-3), has obviously been forgiven. Nicolas Pallois is more than a last bastion of the FC Nantes team, with seven seasons behind him spent in the service of the Canaries collective, he has become a “load-bearing wall”. Unboltable.
It wasn't always that way for him, according to the coaches on the bench. But Nantes, with him, got their money's worth. It has been a long time since the 2.5 million euros of compensation for his transfer, paid to the Girondins de Bordeaux in 2017, were amortized and made profitable. It is one of the two profitable operations that marked the career of the defender of 37 with, with that paid by the FCGB to the Chamois Niortais in 2014 (half a million euros).
€3.5 million compensation paid by FC Nantes and the career peak of Pallois
These transfers and their amounts agree rather well with the estimation of his career market valuation. That which the specialized platform Transfermarkt does. If today, at an almost canonical age for a professional footballer, he is only quoted at 600,000 euros for the equivalence of the months remaining in his contract until it expires on the last day of the month of June to come, Nicolas Pallois peaked for 3 years at an estimate of 3.5 million euros; the peak of his career.
If he has not publicly mentioned it, the question of retirement will perhaps arise for him at the end of this 2024-2025 season. Nicolas Pallois will perhaps have fun, he who, with a lot of humor, announced the end of his international career in 2019, not without having made any selection with the Blues!
