Summer 2025 represents a major turning point for Tino Kadewere’s career. After a challenging season with FC Nantes, the 29-year-old Zimbabwean international departs Ligue 1 and signs for Aris Thessaloniki, one of the top clubs in the Greek Super League. The move was finalized on a free transfer, with Nantes keeping a sell-on percentage should Kadewere move again in the future.
Kadewere joined Nantes in January 2024 but struggled to find his best form, hampered by injuries and limited playing time. He leaves France with a modest record (2 goals in 26 games in all competitions), yet remains known for his determination and versatility. The striker—who previously played for Lyon and Le Havre—now seeks a career reboot in a league famed for its pace and opportunities for foreign talents.
In Thessaloniki, Kadewere received a warm welcome and expressed his eagerness for the new challenge: Aris is one of the biggest clubs in Greece with high ambitions, and I want to do everything to help the team achieve its goals. The transfer comes as Aris, last season’s fifth-place finisher, aims to push even higher, bolstered by Kadewere’s experience and hunger.
This summer, all eyes will be on Kadewere as he takes to the Greek pitches. He’ll also have the chance to showcase his skills on the European stage, notably in the UEFA Conference League, hoping this move marks a true fresh start—one filled with promise and the spirit of resilience.
