2 goals against Marseille, around ten matches played, and the French international will return to Olympiacos in Greece this summer.
Dehmaine Tabibou – 21 years – Contract until June 2030 – 3/5
Formed at the club with the most appearances in Ligue 1 this season, the versatile 21-year-old player has been moved around to different positions. Full-back, winger, central midfielder, attacking midfielder, winger, with over 1000 minutes of play, the French U21 international could be one of the key attacking players for FC Nantes in Ligue 2. His potential and high market value could make him a target for other clubs.
Yassine Benhattab – 23 years – Contract until June 2028 – 2/5
Originally seen as a promising player, but after only playing 10 matches in the first part of the season and then leaving the Canaries squad, the winger was loaned to Stade de Reims in Ligue 2 for the end of the season. With just 1 goal and 2 assists, it is unlikely that his buyout option will be exercised. However, his dynamic profile might attract other clubs.
Herba Guirassy – 19 years – Contract until June 2028 – 4/5
The winger, who played more than last season, is seen as a potential starter under Luis Castro, but his playing time decreased towards the end. This drop in performance might have deterred potential suitors. Continuing in Ligue 2 could be beneficial for his development.
Matthis Abline – 23 years – Contract until June 2028 – 0/5
Almost left last summer, the French U21 international will not continue in Ligue 2. Capable of impressive moments in attack, his transfer could bring in significant funds for FC Nantes.
Mostafa Mohamed – 28 years – Contract until June 2027 – 1/5
Consistently performing with 4 goals this season, the Egyptian forward will likely seek a new club as his contract nears its end and the club faces relegation.
Ignatius Ganago – 27 years – Contract until June 2027 – 4/5
After a surprising return to form from the MLS in January, the Cameroonian player showed his worth in a struggling attack. Despite this, there may not be many offers for him, as he could be a key offensive player for FC Nantes in Ligue 2.
Amady Camara – 20 years – Contract until June 2026 – 0/5
No longer part of the squad since January, the young Malian will return to Sturm Graz in Austria. His 10 appearances in the league won’t be remembered.
Youssef El Arabi – 39 years – Contract until June 2026 – 1/5
Showing promise earlier in the season but fading as it progressed, the Moroccan is likely to leave the club to reduce the wage bill.
