Nantes has been negotiating for several days with Young Boys for the arrival of Congolese striker Meschack Elia, but the matter was abandoned.
Antoine Kombouaré would like to strengthen his offensive sector during this winter transfer window and for this, FC Nantes had identified Meschack Elia as a very interesting target. In difficulty with Young Boys this season, the Congolese striker nonetheless remains a scorer with a very interesting CV and the Canaries had made him their priority for this month of January in attack. Since the start of the week, negotiations have been underway between Nantes and the Swiss club.
But according to information from Ocean Pressthis file is now a thing of the past. Indeed, no agreement could be found between Young Boys, who wanted a loan with an automatic purchase option and Nantes, who demanded a dry loan or with a non-compulsory purchase option. The attacker should therefore not come to Loire-Atlantique this winter according to our colleague Pierre-Arnaud Bard. A disappointment for Meschack Elia, who very quickly agreed to FC Nantes, but who will have to find another project if he absolutely wants to leave the Swiss club, where he no longer has very significant playing time.
