Nantes of France winger Moses Simon is indeed courting interest from the trio of Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon , Ligue 1 rivals Nice and Austrian heavyweight RB Salzburg.
The recently turned 26 year old has excelled beyond expectations since his move to the Ligue 1 side initially on loan before making the deal permanent last summer joining from Levante.
His performance hasn’t gone unnoticed and despite the willingness of Nantes to hang on to him their week financial state makes it almost impossible as the transfer window hots up.
Nantes are on the edge salary wise and Simon who is among their heavy earners will likely leave the team if their €15m valuation of the Nigeria international is met.
“ Nantes will sell for around €15 million. It’s a valuation that they have hanged on to since his move on a permanent deal. For now Austrian side RB Salzburg is a distant shot but it’s not out of place that he will accepts a move to Sporting Lisbon or Nice”, a source close to the winger told OwnGoalNigeria.com in an exclusive chat.
“ Nice have been on his trail for a while and talks have been held although not so advanced yet. For Sporting Lisbon it’s still at enquiry stage. The link to RB Salzburg first came up last summer before he made his move permanent. I don’t think it’s an option now”, he concluded.
