FC Nantes introduced Lucas Perrin as its latest recruit. The defender expressed enthusiasm about joining the club and playing at the Stade de la Beaujoire, emphasizing his readiness to help the team meet its objectives.

Olympique de Marseille confirmed the return of Bamo Meïté from his loan spell at FC Lorient. Under contract until June 2028, Meïté could become the sole right‑footed central defender in the squad, while the club anticipates the departure of defenders Leonardo Balerdi and CJ Egan‑Riley and plans to add further centre‑backs.

Both clubs are adjusting their defensive rosters ahead of the new season, with Nantes focusing on integrating Perrin’s experience and Marseille preparing for a possible overhaul of its back line.
