Super Eagles winger Moses Simon is attracting serious attention in France, with newly promoted Paris FC joining the list of clubs eager to secure his signature this summer.
The 29-year-old was a standout performer for Nantes last season, playing a crucial role in helping the Canaries avoid relegation.
His performances haven’t gone unnoticed, with English side Everton and French giants Olympique Marseille already showing interest.
But now, Paris FC, fresh off their promotion from Ligue 2, are reportedly pushing hard to land the Nigerian international.
Paris FC, backed by the wealthy Arnault family, are planning a big splash in the transfer market as they look to make a strong impression in Ligue 1.
The club sees Simon as a top target to lead their charge in the top flight. According to reports from France, the Arnaults are willing to part with €12 million to sign him from Nantes.
Simon has one year left on his current deal with Nantes, which runs until June 2026. However, he is believed to be seeking a fresh challenge this summer.

Will Moses Simon be key for Paris FC in Ligue 1?
While he has previously expressed a desire to play in European competitions, sources close to the player say he’s open to staying in France if the right project and pay cheque comes along.
Paris FC might just be that opportunity.
The prospect of a key role in a team with ambition, alongside a better salary, could tempt him to stay in Ligue 1 and join Paris FC’s ambitious project.
Simon would be a big boost for Paris FC. He brings pace, flair, and a direct attacking style that unsettles defenders.
His experience in Ligue 1 could also be vital for the newly promoted side as they try to find their feet in the top division.
Last season, he scored eight goals and provided 10 assists, leading Nantes in both categories as they fought their way to safety.
