Alban Lafont

In July 2025, reports indicated Nantes demanded a loan fee of approximately €1 million and a mandatory purchase clause that could reach €5 million for a permanent transfer. Later, in February 2026, discussions between Panathinaikos and Nantes were reportedly for a 'reasonable amount', though by March 2026 it was reported the Greek club would not be purchasing him. Historically, Nantes completed his permanent transfer from Fiorentina in July 2021 for a fee of €7.5 million.

Our valuation for Alban Lafont is primarily shaped by his diminished status at Nantes, which has lowered his value from his €7.5 million transfer in 2021. The key data point is a reported demand from Nantes in July 2025 for a mandatory purchase clause of up to €5 million. Given the player was actively being pushed out and the potential buyer ultimately declined a permanent deal, we estimate his current market value to be slightly below that asking price.
