Nantes’ Nathan Zézé agrees Neom SC move

Nantes centre-back Nathan Zézé (20) is on the verge of signing for promoted Saudi Pro League side Neom SC, according to a report from L’Equipe. The France U21 international has agreed to pursue his promising career in Saudi Arabia. It appears Neom SC have stolen a march on a handful of European clubs in the race to sign the highly-rated Nantes Academy product.

Villarreal were reportedly close to securing his signing as the Submarino Amarillo were scouring the market for a centre-back following Logan Costa‘s serious injury. The outlet understands that Villarreal, which will play in the Champions League next season, submitted a €14m bid with a further €4m in performance-related add-ons.

Neom SC then pounced with a €20m bid that has been ultimately accepted by Nantes. Foot Mercato adds that Zézé will receive “never-seen-before” wages for a player as inexperienced as him.
