French football club transfer market activity

Overview

French football clubs are actively engaging in squad restructuring during the summer transfer window.

Initially, clubs in Ligue 2, such as FC Nantes and AS Saint-Étienne, focused on offensive reinforcements. FC Nantes sought players for flank or central attacking roles to improve scoring, while AS Saint-Étienne targeted a Swiss attacker and secured Slovenian midfielder Tamar Svetlin.

As the window progressed, activity expanded across Ligue 1. AS Saint-Étienne prepared for the potential departure of striker Lucas Stassin, eyeing replacements like Adriano Bertaccini or Andréas Hountondji. Other clubs also initiated specific recruitment or sales: RC Lens sought defender Nathan Zézé, Olympique Marseille expressed interest in Alidu Seidu, Olympique Lyonnais targeted Matt O’Riley, and Stade Rennais looked to facilitate a transfer for Seidu.
