Super Eagles winger Moses Simon is in the final year of his contract with French club Nantes, and that has sparked transfer speculation around the 29-year-old forward.
Simon joined Nantes permanently in 2020 from Spanish side Levante, and has grown into one of the team’s key players.
This season, he has been in fine form, scoring seven goals and providing nine assists, the highest assist tally in Ligue 1 at the moment.
Despite Nantes' struggles this season and their battle against relegation, Simon has been a standout performer. His dribbling ability and creativity continue to shine, earning him praise as one of the top dribblers in the French league.
With his contract set to expire next year, Nantes are under pressure to either offer him a new deal or cash in now. However, the club will not block a potential move if he chooses to leave.
Reports suggest they are hoping to recoup at least double the €5 million they spent to bring him from Levante.

How much do Nantes want for Moses Simon?
The Kita family, who own Nantes, reportedly want at least €10 million for Simon, a figure slightly below his current market value of €12 million.
That asking price could open the door for a bidding war among interested clubs.
Simon, who has made 29 league appearances this season, is not just Nantes’ most consistent attacker, he’s arguably their most important player.
His representatives have made it clear that he wants to play European football, which could be a factor in choosing his next destination.
With his contract running down and several clubs circling, the next few months will be crucial for the Nigerian international’s future.
