Layvin Kurzawa recounts his aborted transfer to Nantes

Now without a club, Layvin Kurzawa spoke in an interview with our colleagues at The team particularly regarding his transfer to FC Nantes which fell through during the last winter transfer window: “On the last day of the transfer window, Moussa Sissoko, who is a friend, called me to tell me that the club would like to get in touch with me. I said, ‘No problem, let them call me.’ I explain to them that I would go there with great pleasure for six months. In Nantes, they were super surprised. I only wanted one thing, to play football again. I called Luis Campos to ask him if it was possible to go to Nantes. He told me: ‘Of course, I’m happy for you’ and that there would be no problem resolving the salary issue.”first explained the French player.

Finally, a hiccup arose in the negotiations at the last minute: “I put the two clubs in touch, I had prepared my suitcase, but I didn’t hear from them until 10 p.m. And Nantes tells me that they ultimately preferred to buy a player, although that was not the case (Nicolas Cozza was loaned without an option to buy by Wolfsburg, Editor’s note). I didn’t appreciate it. To think that they contacted me again recently”, concluded the former Monaco player. While waiting to receive phone calls, Kurzawa is ready.
