FC Nantes nears sale to British investment fund

FC Nantes appears to be moving closer to a sale following a 15-month restructuring period led by owner Waldemar Kita. Since May 2025, the club has undergone a significant financial slimming process, targeting players with salaries exceeding 100,000 euros to balance the accounts and increase attractiveness to investors. This strategy included the sale of players such as Nathan Zézé and Matthis Abline.

Reports indicate that discussions have been ongoing since June with a British investment fund. The potential takeover project reportedly focuses on a model centered on youth training and player trading. This approach aims to leverage the club's historical strength in developing young talent to create a sustainable economic model through high-value player transfers.
