According to the latest information from the Brazilian press as well as Goal, São Paulo FC are closely monitoring the situation of Douglas Augusto, the FC Nantes midfielder. The Brazilian club would seriously consider recruiting the player to strengthen its squad during the next winter transfer window, with a view to the start of the 2025 season.
Can FC Nantes afford to let this Antoine Kombouaré executive leave? A good offer could clearly give the Nantes board pause. On the other hand, another player will not be selected.
Arriving freely last summer from USL Dunkerque where he had relaunched, Jean-Philippe Gbamin is clearly not at the expected level. And yet we wanted to believe it. Having only started twice since the start of the season, the 29-year-old defensive midfielder is simply transparent.
Of course the context doesn't help. However, Kombouaré was probably counting on the great experience of the Ivorian international to pull the group up. This is not the case.
Should we expect a departure in January? This cannot be ruled out, especially since a club seems interested. According to L'Equipe, Gbamin is “the subject of pronounced interest from CSKA Moscow, where he had already played between February and June 2022”. Towards a termination of contract to facilitate his departure?
