According to Mohamed Toubache-Terthe Brazilian central defender Andrei Girotto (33 years old) would have expressed his desire to return to Nantes a year ago. The winner of the 2022 Coupe de France spent six years on the banks of the Erdre before joining Al-Taawoun, in Saudi Arabia, on August 6, 2023 (sold for 4 million euros).
According to the insider with 89.7k followers on Xthe native of Bento Gonçalves was motivated by the idea of returning to lend a hand to his former team in Ligue 1. However, the “monstrous salary” that he received (and still receives) in the Middle East was incompatible with Nantes’ finances.
Today this issue is no longer relevant, although FC Nantes would like to strengthen in central defense this winter. Finally, note that the contractAndrei Girotto ends on June 30.
