Meanwhile, Super Eagles star Moses Simon continues to shine, playing a crucial role in Nantes’ battle against relegation this season.
Kolo Muani’s struggles open the door for a Nantes return
Randal Kolo Muani’s dream move to PSG in 2023 has turned sour in recent weeks. After an initial period of reasonable game time under Luis Enrique, the €90 million striker has been frozen out since August, missing key fixtures, including PSG’s recent encounter against AS Monaco.
With his future at the Parisian club hanging in the balance, a winter transfer seems inevitable as the France international looks to get his career back on track.
FC Nantes, where Kolo Muani first made his mark, have emerged as a surprise potential destination. Nantes manager Antoine Kombouare expressed his eagerness for the striker’s return, sayig, “If it’s possible, I’d jump at the opportunity. I’d even drive to Paris to make it happen.”
While logistical and financial hurdles make the move challenging, the possibility of Kolo Muani rejoining his former club has sparked excitement among fans and pundits alike.
Moses Simon keeps Nantes’ survival hopes alive
Amid this speculation, Nigerian winger Simon remains Nantes’ standout performer. The Super Eagles regular has delivered nine goal contributions this season, including four goals and five assists, far surpassing any of his teammates.
His sensational solo effort against Rennes ended a 10-game winless streak, and he has now been involved in a goal in three of Nantes’ last five games.
Nantes fans are now dreaming of a partnership between Simon and Kolo Muani, seeing the duo as the key to securing their Ligue 1 status.
Whether or not this fantasy becomes a reality, Simon’s brilliance ensures that Nantes’ fight against relegation remains alive and well.
