Andy Delort’s Possible Return to OGC Nice Complicated by FC Nantes’ Fate

Leaving this winter to join FC Nantes after a complicated period with OGC Nice, Andy Delort could finally return to the Aiglons this summer. The compulsory purchase option will only be exercised if the Nantes residents remain, which is still far from certain.

Arrived in Nantes this winter, Andy Delort was quick to tackle OGC Nice: “Here, I find what I like. Already, an extraordinary public, the values ​​of a family club, which we had lost since the start of the season with Nice. »

Party to stay, the Algerian international could finally leave the Canaries earlier than expected if FC Nantes fails to maintain.

Delort back in Nice?

Indeed, according to information by L’Équipe, Andy Delort will definitely be Nantes if the club remains at the end of the season. However, the mandatory purchase option of €5m will not be exercised if Antoine Kombouaré’s men are relegated to Ligue 2.

FC Nantes is today 16^thtied with Brest 17^th and Strasbourg 15^th. With 4 teams going down to Ligue 2 next season, maintenance is far from guaranteed.

With a decisive week for the people of Nantes with a trip this evening to Brest, before receiving Strasbourg on Sunday afternoon.

This season is proving to be complicated for the Algerian striker, with 9 goals and 1 assist in 33 appearances with Nice and Nantes, including only 2 registered with the Canaries, in the Coupe de France. Because Andy Delort has still not scored for Nantes in Ligue 1. If the player wishes to continue in his current club, an awakening in the league seems obligatory, and would facilitate the maintenance of his team.

When he arrived in Nantes, the player spoke of broken promises and the betrayal he had felt from OGC Nice, which prompted him to join Nantes. Finally, Andy Delort could indeed return to the Aiglons this summer. A return that could be stormy.
