In recent days, FC Nantes has been conducting trials with striker Johan Audel, who currently plays for VfB Stuttgart. It appears that the Martinican forward has made a positive impression on the Nantes technical staff. There are indications that Audel could make an immediate switch from the Bundesliga to join FC Nantes.
The week may conclude with the signing of a contract with the newly promoted Ligue 1 club. This, of course, is contingent upon a thorough medical examination and a mutual agreement on terms, including salary, among the parties involved. The 29-year-old West Indian seems poised to continue his career with Nantes.
According to Presse-Océan, a contract is expected to be presented to Audel, who experienced a goalless season in Stuttgart, where he has been since 2010. However, France 3 Pays-de-la-Loire reports that FC Nantes might not make a final decision until Saturday or Sunday regarding Audel. Despite being under contract until June 2014, the former player of Nice, Lille, Lorient, and Valenciennes has apparently convinced Michel Der Zakarian, the coach of FC Nantes, who has given his approval for the potential signing.
