Chidozie Awaziem is a new player for Nantes. The 28-year-old Nigerian defender signed a contract with the French first division club until the summer of 2028. He arrived in France from the USA, where he played the previous season for Colorado. The transfer value is unofficially around 850,000 euros. Awaziem has previously played for Nantes on loan from Porto in the 2017/18 season.

Chidozie Awaziem is set to return to Nantes, a club he previously played for during the 2017-2018 season under the management of Claudio Ranieri. The Nigerian defender, 28 years old, will be joining Nantes from the Colorado Rapids in the MLS, where he had been playing since December. His previous return attempt was canceled when his move from Boavista was annulled two years ago. He is expected to sign a three-year contract with Nantes, marking him as the club's third signing following Uros Radakovic and Youssef El-Arabi.
