Chidozie Awaziem is edging closer to a move away from FC Nantes. The Nigerian international defender, frustrated after the club’s relegation to Ligue 2, is expected to join Turkish side Konyaspor.
FC Nantes are actively working on Awaziem’s departure this summer. Talks are ongoing with Konyaspor over a deal valued between €1 million and €2 million. The Nigerian defender, unwilling to continue in Ligue 2 following a salary reduction, has made it clear he is ready for a new challenge abroad.
Konyaspor see Awaziem as a valuable addition thanks to his experience and defensive consistency. Nantes, meanwhile, aim to reduce their wage bill while securing a reasonable transfer fee. Barring any late twists, the move could be finalized in the coming days.
