Failing to have changed coaches, FC Nantes wants to take advantage of the winter transfer window to carry out a turnover in its locker room. Two players were warned that the club no longer counted on them.
While Anthony Lopes is expected in the coming hours in Nantes, the goalkeeper waiting for Olympique Lyonnais to reach an agreement with the Canaries, even if a priori Lopes will be released with a small salary support from OL, Nantes leaders have already started the transfer window in the direction of departures. Two days before the opening of the transfer period, The Team announces that two players were warned that Antoine Kombouaré was no longer counting on them during the second half of the season and that they could find a club during the month of January 2025. Unsurprisingly, Alban Lafont, pushed to the sidelines during last matches, and Fabien Centonze have been informed that they no longer have a future at FC Nantes.
Nantes pushes two players out
For the goalkeeper, whose name is whispered in Lens, and his teammate, this is obviously not a big surprise, but things at least have the merit of being clear. And this is only the beginning, since the sports daily specifies that each reinforcement that arrives could lead to the departure of another player. It is true that Waldemar Kita's club will not do anything crazy in the winter transfer window at a time when FC Nantes is in a sad fourteenth place in Ligue 1, with only one point ahead of AS Saint-Etienne, 16th and play-off, and two on Le Havre, first direct relegation. In addition to his team, Antoine Kombouaré will also strengthen his staff with the arrival of Ahmed Kantari, who recently left Valenciennes and who knows the Kanak coach, since he played under his orders when he was at PSG and Lens.
