The future of several players remained unresolved despite the fact that the summer transfer window has one more weeks to go in most of the major leagues in Europe.
Players and their representatives are now pulling the strings to ensure that their clients get the best for their career, but so too are teams who are either keen on holding on to their key players or otherwise.
French Ligue 1 side Nantes have taken a stand on the future of Nigeria international winger Moses Simon, who has been linked to several teams in France and even around Europe.
Coach of the team Antoine Kombouare has already told the owners of the team that they can’t afford to lose the 27 year old Nigerian. Particularly this late in the transfer window as it will be difficult to find his type of player with the limited time available.
This has already been made known to the representatives of Simon who were pushing for the club to accept a proposal from Rennes. Nice were the other side in the French Ligue 1 to have made a bid for the winger.
Outside France, a host of teams which includes the English Premier League trio of Newcastle United, Brighton and Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest checked on his availability but were told he is keen on remaining in France due to family reasons.
