In the anonymity of a discreet 2024 summer transfer window, FC Nantes had smelled a good blow with the signing of Yassine Benhattab, then still unknown to the general public. Loaned in the process in Aubagne in National, the 22 -year -old has exploded this season. Elected best player in the championship in 2024-2025, he stacked goals and assists, while displaying a rare maturity in his game. A ramp-up that no longer goes unnoticed in the Jonelière offices, where Luis Castro, new Canari coach, could well have found his future darling.

At the dawn of summer preparation, the first training sessions could confirm this impression: Castro holds a crude diamond, ready to explode in Ligue 1.
