FC Nantes is working to reverse the trend of recent months. A very complicated start to the 2024-2025 season in which the Canaries failed to confirm the excellent month of August and the series of two victories and a draw in three matches. Since then, the Kombouaré gang has been bogged down in a dangerous struggle to stay in Ligue 1. To change things, the Nantes leaders are trying to remove the undesirables from its squad. And the first starter is known.

Victim of a cruciate ligament rupture on November 27, 2023, Ignatius Ganago did not manage to return to competition until last summer. Since then, months of hardship have followed for the Cameroonian striker… Enough for the Nantes leaders to show him the way out. Courted by Major League Soccer, Ganago heads to the United States.
Sold at its purchase price
Highly appreciated by Antoine Kombouaré, at the origin of his arrival at FC Nantes, Ignatius Ganago was bought for just under 4.5 million euros from RC Lens, in 2022. This winter, the Canaries reached an agreement with the New England Revolution franchise for a loan, with a purchase option of… 4.5 million euros. Nantes therefore completes a white operation since Ganago is sold at its purchase price.
