FC Nantes have entered the race to sign Ghana midfielder Salis Abdul Samed following his recent demotion by RC Lens.
The 24-year-old midfielder was notably absent from Lens’ squad for their season opener against Angers, signaling his likely departure from the club.
Nantes is the latest club to express interest in Samed, joining Montpellier and Brest in the pursuit of the talented midfielder. Talks have already begun between Nantes and Lens as the summer transfer window rapidly approaches its closing date.
Despite his recent struggles at the club level, Samed remains a key figure for the Ghanaian national team. His contract with Lens extends until 2028, but with limited playing time and his relegation to the reserves, his future with the club is uncertain.

Samed has made 72 appearances for Lens, contributing one goal and one assist during his time with the team. His market value is estimated at around €8 million, according to Transfermarkt.
As clubs compete for his signature, Salis Abdul Samed is eager to bounce back and start a new chapter with another club, where he can continue to play at the top level. His position with the Black Stars could be at risk if his playing time remains limited, making a move essential for both his club and international career.
