Ivorian teenager Abdoul Ouattara has emerged as a transfer target for French club FC Nantes ahead of the January window.
The 19-year-old midfielder, currently with Strasbourg, could be on the move in search of more playing time.
Despite his potential, Ouattara has struggled to break into Strasbourg’s first team due to stiff competition for places. This has limited him to sporadic appearances with the reserve side to maintain match fitness. However, his situation may soon change, as FC Nantes is reportedly considering securing the young talent on loan for the second half of the season.
According to reports, FC Nantes is keen to provide Ouattara with an opportunity to showcase his abilities at the Ligue 1 level. Strasbourg, on the other hand, is said to be interested in extending Ouattara’s contract before sanctioning any loan move, indicating their belief in his long-term potential.
As discussions between the clubs are expected to heat up in the coming days, a loan spell at FC Nantes could offer Ouattara the platform to gain valuable first-team experience and further his development.
The upcoming winter transfer window will determine whether the promising Ivorian midfielder secures a temporary move to bolster his prospects in French football.
