Nantes Considers Move for Valencia Loanee Maximiliano Caufriez

FC Nantes is reportedly exploring the possibility of acquiring Maximiliano Caufriez, the 27-year-old defender currently on loan at Valencia CF from Clermont Foot. However, the potential transfer presents several challenges for the Ligue 1 club.

Caufriez, who joined Valencia on loan last summer, has struggled to secure regular playing time in Spain. The La Liga side, currently battling relegation with only three victories in 20 matches, appears willing to part ways with the defender.

During his stint in Spain, Caufriez has made just one appearance, starting in a 1-1 draw against Getafe. The versatile defender, capable of playing as both a center-back and left-back, has found himself either on the bench or excluded from the squad entirely.

The primary obstacle for Nantes in pursuing Caufriez is financial. The club would need to cover the player’s entire salary, which is reportedly beyond their current budget. While negotiations are ongoing, Nantes is also considering alternative options to strengthen their defensive line.

Despite the complications, the potential transfer of Caufriez to Nantes remains a possibility. The French club continues to explore various avenues to bolster their squad during the transfer window.
