Dylan Bronn is out of servette's plans: 3 potential January destinations for Dylan Bronn

Tunisia international Dylan Bronn could leave Servette FC during the January 2027 transfer window, with French side FC Nantes and Belgian club KAA Gent reportedly interested in the 31 year old defender.

Bronn's future at the Swiss club has become increasingly uncertain after he was left out of Servette's registration for the 2026 /27 Swiss Super League season and moved to the U21 squad.

According to exclusive information published by Africafoot on 16 October, the defender's representatives have already received enquiries from Gent and an unnamed Greek club while Nantes are closely monitoring his situation.

Discussions are reportedly underway over a potential winter departure, although no formal transfer agreement has been announced.

Why has Dylan Bronn been excluded from Servette's first team?

Bronn's situation has deteriorated considerably in recent months, leaving the experienced centre back without a place in Servette's senior squad.

The Tunisian defender was not registered for the Swiss championship and has instead been playing with the club's U21 team to maintain his fitness and competitive rhythm.

His exclusion has raised questions about his long term future in Geneva, particularly as he looks to return to regular first-team football.

Despite his extensive experience, Bronn currently has limited opportunities to regain a starting position at Servette.

The club has not publicly confirmed a transfer agreement or an imminent departure.

However, the reported interest from several European clubs could provide a solution when the January transfer window opens.

Gent consider Dylan Bronn return as Nantes monitor situation

Gent have emerged as one of the clubs exploring a possible move for Bronn.

According to Africafoot, the Belgian side have already contacted the defender's representatives to discuss his availability.

A return to Gent would represent a familiar opportunity for Bronn who previously played for the club between 2017 and 2020 before joining French side Metz.

His experience in Belgian football could make a potential return attractive, particularly as he seeks regular playing time.

Meanwhile, Nantes are also monitoring developments.

The French club, currently competing in Ligue 2, are exploring options to strengthen their defensive department ahead of the second half of the season.

Nantes have previously looked to North African football for defensive reinforcements, with Foot Africa reporting their move for Libyan centre back Ali Youssef in January 2026.

Bronn's familiarity with French football, having represented Niort and Metz, could be another factor in Nantes' reported interest.

However, the available information does not establish that Nantes have submitted a formal offer or opened direct negotiations with Servette.

Greek club also enters the race for Tunisian defender

Nantes and Gent are not the only possible destinations.

Africafoot reports that Bronn's representatives have also received contact from an unnamed club in Greece.

Although the identity of the interested team has not been disclosed, the enquiry provides another potential avenue for the Tunisian international.

The player's priorities are understood to include finding a club where he can regain regular playing time and establish an important role.

Any move would also depend on the terms agreed with Servette and the sporting project presented by interested clubs.

Bronn's international experience adds to his appeal

Bronn offers considerable experience across several European leagues.

According to Servette's official player profile, the defender has played in France's Ligue 1, Belgium's top division and Italy's Serie A during his career.

He also represented Tunisia at the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups, famously scoring against Belgium during the 2018 tournament in Russia.

The centre back remained part of Tunisia's international setup in 2026 and was included in the Carthage Eagles' squad for the 2026 World Cup.

His current situation at Servette presents a significant challenge, with the defender needing consistent competitive opportunities to maintain his standing at international level.
