After a mediocre season with FC Nantes, Johann Lepenant has little chance of accompanying the Canaris to Ligue 2. A French club is already on the case. Very interesting during his first season at FC Nantes (on loan, 2024-2025), Johann Lepenant did not really confirm during the 2025-2026 season. Long-term injured at the start of the season (September 28 – November 10), the 23-year-old midfielder was unable to express himself fully and was unable to avoid the Canaris' descent to Ligue 2. Now, the question of his future is at stake. It would be surprising to see the French hope descend to the lower level… Under contract until June 2029, Johann Lepenant is one of the players who may leave FC Nantes this summer. And in Ligue 1, a surprising destination for him to bounce back. It is the Toulouse Football Club, which has been tracking the Nantes midfielder for a year. To see if FCN will choose to loan him or opt for a straight transfer. Estimated at 7 million euros, Lepenant is a big fish for the Toulousains.
