Having passed through Caen, Bordeaux, Strasbourg but also Aston Villa and Lecce, Frédéric Guilbert will join FC Nantes this winter.
Stunned by the heavy defeat conceded against Nice this weekend (1-4), FC Nantes reacts on the transfer market. Already very active with the signings of Dever Machado, Rémy Cabella, Ibrahima Sissoko and Ali Youssef, the Loire-Atlantique club is preparing to register a fifth winter recruit. According to information from The TeamFC Nantes completed the arrival of Frédéric Guilbert.
The versatile 31-year-old defender was released from his contract by Italian club Lecce last week and therefore finds himself without a club. A godsend for Nantes in order to recover an experienced player (225 Ligue 1 matches) who has played in Bordeaux and Strasbourg and who also has a great adventure in the Premier League at Aston Villa, where he played 25 matches in the league. The national daily explains that an agreement in principle has been found between Frédéric Guilbert and the Canaries.
A lower-cost reinforcement for Nantes
His signing is expected this Tuesday and will offer another solution to Ahmed Kantari in the defensive sector. It remains to be seen the physical form of the former Bordeaux player, who has not played this season with Lecce, which is why the Italian club wanted to release him rather than pay his salary until the end of the season. A solution accepted by Frédéric Guilbert, undoubtedly already in contact with FC Nantes before signing the termination of his lease with the Italian club.
