Moses Simon : Nantes set their price as they prepare to let the Nigerian go this summer

Moses Simon, Nigerian international and a key figure at FC Nantes since his arrival in 2020, looks set for a departure at the end of this season. This campaign, he has notched up 7 goals and 9 assists in Ligue 1, despite the club’s struggles. Yet, these numbers have not convinced the Canaries’ management, as no extension has been discussed for the 29-year-old so far.

Meanwhile, several European clubs have signaled their interest in Moses Simon. AS Roma in Italy are monitoring the situation closely, while Premier League side Everton have reportedly already sent scouts to Nantes and secured the player’s approval for a potential move.

In Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille and OGC Nice are also keeping tabs on the situation, though neither club has made a formal offer yet. Additionally, Turkish sides like Trabzonspor and Besiktas remain attentive to the story, further proof of the winger’s appeal on the international market.

FC Nantes set their price for the Nigerian winger

According to several reliable sources, Nantes’ management have decided not to stand in the way of Moses Simon’s departure. His contract runs until June 2026, but the Canaries are ready to sell this summer to refresh their attack and avoid losing him for less next year.

Reports suggest FC Nantes have already set the Nigerian’s starting price. The club hopes to cash in, having signed him from Levante for €5 million. While his market value is estimated at €12 million by Transfermarkt, Nantes are said to be demanding between €10 and €15 million to release Moses Simon. That’s a figure well within reach for some of the Super Eagle’s previous suitors.
