In a touching moment, the Nantes fans bid farewell to Nicolas Pallois during the last game of the season at the Beaujoire against Lille, with a final score of 1-2 on May 12th. It seemed like the end, but Pallois’ journey with Nantes is not over yet. According to Ouest France, the 36-year-old defender, whose contract expires in June, has agreed to extend his stay for another season with the Canaries, making it his eighth consecutive season with the club. Despite financial challenges, a deal was reached this week for Pallois to continue wearing the Nantes jersey.
Unfortunately, the club will not be extending offers to Remy Descamps, Denis Petric, Moussa Sissoko, Samuel Moutoussamy, and Kader Bamba, who will all be leaving on free transfers. Additionally, Nantes will not exercise the option to buy Eray Cömert, who was on loan from Valence FC. This signals a period of transition for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season, with changes on the horizon in terms of player personnel.
As Pallois gears up for another season with Nantes, the club’s decision to retain him highlights his importance both on and off the field. While some familiar faces will be departing, the Canaries are set to embrace new challenges and opportunities in the next chapter of their journey. Stay tuned for more updates as Nantes navigates through the summer transfer window and prepares for the upcoming campaign.
