FC Nantes has officially been relegated to Ligue 2, and managing the wage bill has become an urgent priority for the club. After reducing its budget by 40% last summer, FC Nantes now needs to part ways with players whose salaries are no longer suitable for Ligue 2. Several departures have already been confirmed, including those of Rémy Cabella and Deiver Machado, which represent a significant cost reduction. However, the club still faces contracts that no longer align with its new status. The management has identified six priority players to leave: Ibrahima Sissoko, Chidozie Awaziem, Johann Lepenant, Matthis Abline, Ibrahima Ganago, and Kelvin Amian. These departures are essential to lighten the wage bill and prepare the club for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, the Professional Football Charter allows FC Nantes to implement an automatic 20% salary reduction, which could help stabilize the club's finances. The coming weeks will be crucial for FC Nantes as it prepares for a summer of significant changes.
