The January transfer window is likely to be hectic at FC Nantes! Despite financial difficulties, Antoine Kombouare could welcome three new recruits this winter.
Mercato FC Nantes: Management plans to offer three recruits to Antoine Kombouaré
In a context of strong pressure, FC Nantes managed to win on Sunday against Stade Rennais, outnumbered. This success (1-0), snatched in the last minutes thanks to Moses Simon, is of capital importance for several reasons. First of all, this victory allows the Canaries to give themselves a little breathing room in the fight for maintenance.
Every point is precious at the end of the season and this success could well revive the Nantais who now occupy 13e place in Ligue 1 after 14 days. Then, this victory against SRFC is a breath of fresh air for Antoine Kombouaré. The Nantes coach, whose future was uncertain due to mixed results, is offering himself a little respite at the end of 2024.
Supported by general manager Franck Kita, Antoine Kombouaré has a good chance of spending the winter at the head of FC Nantes. This also opens up new perspectives for the winter transfer window. Despite a delicate financial situation, the management of the FCN plans to recruit two to three players, in particular to strengthen the defense and the attack, according to information from Live Foot.
Mostafa Mohamed and Nathan Zézé on the departure list
But before recruiting, the Canaries will have to sell. The possible sales of Mostafa Mohamed and Nathan Zézé during the January transfer window should allow Antoine Kombouaré's club to collect between 15 and 20 million euros. Such amounts should facilitate the arrival of new recruits.
Whatever the case, this success against Rennes marks a turning point in FC Nantes' season. The Canaries can now approach the rest of the season with a new perspective, and Antoine Kombouaré with a new legitimacy.
