FC Nantes goalkeeper squad challenges

Overview

FC Nantes is experiencing instability within its goalkeeper department. Following a difficult start to the season, goalkeeper Maxime Dupé has faced criticism for technical errors and poor results, including a heavy 2-5 loss against Rodez.

The situation escalated when second-choice goalkeeper Alexis Mirbach suffered a serious meniscus injury during training. The 21-year-old may require surgery, which is expected to sideline him for at least three months.

To address the shortage, the club explored several options. Initial attempts to recruit Red Star goalkeeper Gaëtan Poussin failed after his club refused to authorize the transfer, and interest in Obed Nkambadio from Paris FC was also considered.

Ultimately, the club has secured the return of 34-year-old Swedish goalkeeper Patrik Carlgren. While the club has sought new talent due to dissatisfaction with current performances, Carlgren is expected to serve as a backup. Consequently, Maxime Dupé is likely to retain his starting position for the time being.
