FC Nantes could part with Mostafa Mohamed for under 1.5 million euros without recording a loss. The 28-year-old Egyptian striker, absent since Wednesday, was not selected for the CAN with his national team.

What happened?

Mostafa Mohamed was recruited by FC Nantes from Galatasaray on July 1, 2023, for 5.75 million euros. His transfer fee is amortized linearly over four seasons.

Why it matters for FC Nantes

Mostafa Mohamed's net book value on FC Nantes' balance sheet is now 1.4375 million euros. The Nantes club is seeking to clean up its finances before aiming for a sporting return to Ligue 1 in the first season.

FC Nantes is currently 17th in Ligue 1, with 23 points, 5 wins, 8 draws, and 20 losses in 33 games. The team has scored 29 goals and conceded 52, with a goal difference of -23.

What comes next?

New coach Michel Der Zakarian may not have planned to count on Mostafa Mohamed in his promotion project. FC Nantes must therefore find a buyer for the Egyptian striker to strengthen its squad and finances.
