FC Nantes have rekindled their interest in Southampton’s Kamaldeen Sulemana for the summer window.
That’s according to Africa Foot, who state the Ligue 1 club wanted to sign the 23-year-old in the winter market.
They had preferred a loan transfer while Southampton wanted to sell him for €20m. This saw the French club end their pursuit then before considering the winger again for next season.
The Ghana international is considered the priority target for Nantes and therefore, they have reignited their desire to sign him.
Nantes have made a ‘second attempt’ to snatch the attacker away from Southampton. A source close to the player’s family, who is also part of his management team, told Africa Foot that he’s open to joining Nantes as he wants to play in the top division.
This won’t be possible with the Saints after their relegation from the Premier League. He played over 1,400 minutes from 26 league games this season, managing a goal and an assist in the process. Sulemana has two years left on his contract at St Mary’s.
Despite Sulemana’s desire for transfer and Nantes returning for him, the source claims ” Southampton will ‘once again make negotiations difficult’.
