Barely appointed to the FC Nantes bench, Luis Castro has already sent his roadmap for the summer transfer window. Five recruits are targeted, in well -defined positions, to rebuild a workforce that has come close to relegation and several executives are leaving. The site promises to be colossal.
🟧 Credible track
Summer will be long and animated on the side of the Jonelière. With the arrival of Luis Castro on the bench of FC Nantes, a new cycle opens. And the least we can say is that the Portuguese coach has not waste time. According to the team, a clear list of positions to be strengthened has already been sent to the sports management. It concerns five priority recruits, to lay the basis of a workforce adapted to its tactical scheme in 4-3-3.
The needs are identified: a central defender, a left side, a defensive midfielder and two wingers. Strategic positions, which underline the shortcomings observed last season, especially in terms of depth and balance.
Emmanuel Merceron, well -informed follower of the club, sums up the situation without detour: “The work is colossal for the summer of FC Nantes. A whole team to redo. 5 or 6 players to recruit more than 4 or 5 young people to integrate. Popcorn. »»
Will Castro have the means of his ambitions?
The watchword is clear: reconstructing without haste, but with ambition. Several executives are initially starting, starting with Mostafa Mohamed, very courted in Türkiye, or Matthis Abbline, who could be sold if a convincing offer falls. The start of Moses Simon, released from his contract, releases a place in attack, but only accentuates the urgency of renewal.
On the defense side, the departure of Nicolas Pallois opens the door to a stopper that could be called Uros Radakovic. In the middle, the will is to densify the midfield with a physical profile and capable of orienting the game.
Castro also plans to integrate several young people from the training center, but the objective remains to build a stable and competitive eleven quickly, to avoid a new catastrophic start.
With little financial margin, but a new project to defend, FC Nantes therefore begins its transfer window with method. The CAP is fixed: it remains to be seen whether management will meet the requirements of its new coach.
“The FC goal glance”
“Luis Castro is ambitious to rebuild a competitive team at FC Nantes. Gladly player, the new coach knows what he wants but the real question concerns his adaptation to Ligue 1 and his ability to blend into the Nantes context and his new leaders. »»
