FC Nantes loans Sacha Ziani and Emmanuel Kiah to UF Touraine

FC Nantes has loaned two midfielders, Sacha Ziani and Emmanuel Kiah, to UF Touraine for one season. Both players previously played for the Nantes reserve team in National 2 and will now compete in National 1.

Sacha Ziani, a 23-year-old midfielder, has been part of the professional squad on three occasions this season in Ligue 2 but has not yet played any minutes. His contract with FC Nantes is set to expire this coming summer, meaning his future with the club may depend on his performance during this loan or a potential contract extension.

Emmanuel Kiah, a defensive midfielder who joined Nantes from Cameroon last summer, remains under contract with the club until June 2029. These moves are part of a broader squad restructuring at FC Nantes following their relegation to Ligue 2.
