The future of Serges Gakpé at FC Nantes is currently up in the air, with club president Waldemar Kita making it clear that the Togolese forward’s contract extension depends on his salary demands. Gakpé, who has been part of Nantes for several years, is reportedly negotiating with the club, but Kita warned that the club would not be able to meet any “exorbitant” salary demands from the player.
During a recent break for international matches, Kita spoke to Presse Océan about the potential renewals for three key players. He mentioned Rémy Riou, whose extension is expected to be finalized after a few more matches, and Vincent Bessat, whose desire to play regularly could complicate negotiations. As for Gakpé, Kita’s message was clear: while the club is open to negotiations, it cannot agree to unreasonable financial demands.
It appears that Gakpé’s future at the club will hinge not only on his performance but also on finding a middle ground regarding salary expectations.
