A winter track falls through!

Timothée Nkada, the 25-year-old striker from Rodez, has had a remarkable first part of the season in Ligue 2. Arriving last summer from FC Koper in Slovenia, he quickly established himself as one of the key players in the RAF with 8 goals and 3 assists. This performance attracted the attention of FC Nantes and ASSElooking for offensive reinforcements. However, despite its status as second top scorer of Ligue 2, Nkada should not move this winter.

A binding regulation

The reason for this forced immobility lies in the FIFA regulations. Before joining Rodez, Nkada played 3 matches with FC Koper at the start of the season. However, the rules prohibit a player from playing for more than two different clubs during the same season. Although promising, the former resident of Rennes, Reims and Aalborg will therefore have to wait until next summer to consider a possible transfer to a Ligue 1 club.

An atypical journey

The case of Timothée Nkada illustrates the complexity of the transfer market. After experiences abroad in Denmark and Slovenia, the native of Lille found his feet in French Ligue 2. His versatility up front and his ability to be decisive make him one of the revelations of the season. Despite the interest of the elite teams, the regulations force the scorer to continue its development in Rodez until the next summer transfer window.

Promising future prospects

If his statistics hold up, Nkada could well afford a transfer of choice next summer. At 25 years old, he still has plenty of room for improvement and an opportunity to shine sustainably in Ligue 1. His case reminds us that patience remains a virtue in the unpredictable world of transfers, where regulations can thwart the best plans. better established.
