The story between Alban Lafont and FC Nantes seems to be coming to an end. Long considered one of the best guards in Ligue 1, the 26-year-old porter had a 2024-2025 nightmarish season. Relegated to the bench, then definitively dismissed by Antoine Kombouaré, Lafont ended the season with the reserve team, far from the spotlight. A brutal decline for a player formerly coveted by the biggest clubs. But while his future seemed to be blocked, a reversal of the situation is taking shape.
Paris FC ready to relaunch Lafont?
According to information from Mohamed Toubache-Ter, Paris FC, just promoted in Ligue 1, has checked the name of Alban Lafont to strengthen its workforce. In search of an experienced goalkeeper capable of bringing solidity and leadership, the club of the capital could offer an ideal exit door to the former Toulousain. If formal discussions have not yet been made, the interest is very real and could lead to a concrete offer in the coming weeks. For Lafont, it would be an unexpected chance to bounce back at the highest level, while FC Nantes could finally turn the page of a file that has become bulky.
A win-win transfer in sight?
This possible transfer could do the business of all parties. Paris FC would recover a quality goalkeeper without having to break his piggy bank, FC Nantes would relieve himself of a significant salary (150,000 euros per month, the highest in the locker room), and Lafont could find playing time in Ligue 1. A miracle for everyone!
