Super Eagles forward Moses Simon has decided not to join another club in France this summer, despite having just one year left on his contract at Nantes.

The 30-year-old winger had an excellent season in Ligue 1, scoring eight goals and providing ten assists in 32 matches. His contributions made up 46% of Nantes’ goals, showing just how important he was to the team.

Simon has been a key player for Nantes since joining from Levante in 2019. Over the years, he has often come to the team’s rescue and is now considered one of their most influential players — even ranking as the 25th top goalscorer in the club’s history.

With such strong performances, several clubs have shown interest in signing him. Reports linked him to Everton in the Premier League and top French clubs like Marseille and Rennes.

However, Simon has now made his stance clear: he will not play for any other French club. According to French outlet Live Foot, the Nigerian forward is open only to a move abroad.

Why Simon Has Made This Decision
Simon’s choice is likely influenced by his long stay at Nantes and his strong connection with the fans. Joining another club in France might hurt his reputation at the club where he is held in high regard.

Also, at 30 years old, this might be Simon’s last chance to secure a move to a big league like the Premier League, which many players dream of.

With interest from clubs outside France, Simon is expected to reveal his next move in the coming weeks. For now, one thing is certain — his time in French football is coming to an end.
