Moses Simon, the dribbling king draws Turkey's attention

Moses Simon is attracting interest from two Turkish heavyweights: Trabzonspor and Besiktas. According to Foot en France, both clubs have shown genuine interest in the FC Nantes winger, who is under contract until June 2026.

But negotiations promise to be tough. Nantes FC has no intention of letting go of its attacking star for a bargain. The club is demanding €15 million to release their player—a price tag that, for now, has cooled the Turkish suitors’ ambitions. Still, Simon’s profile remains highly appealing.

On the pitch, Simon’s 2024–25 season speaks volumes: 30 Ligue 1 appearances, 7 goals, and 9 assists. Most notably, he has established himself as France’s undisputed dribbling king. With 59 successful dribbles—an average of two per match—he’s outperformed all rivals in this category.

At 29, Moses Simon looks ready to take his career to the next level. But a financial agreement will have to be reached first. For its part, Nantes holds all the cards—and will only let him go if their valuation is met.
