L'Équipe reports that Florian Sotoca was pursued by FC Nantes this winter, but he decided to remain at RC Lens because of his strong attachment to the club.

FC Nantes has targeted Florian Sotoca to strengthen its offensive sector this winter. Ouest-France reports that this move is unlikely to happen.

According to L'Équipe, FC Nantes is interested in Florian Sotoca. The RC Lens forward is under contract until the end of the season and has had limited playing time. A potential departure for him would occur in a particular context. Lens recently transferred Deiver Machado as a joker, and this situation could influence upcoming discussions.

Nantes, who are struggling in 17th place in Ligue 1 and looking for experienced reinforcements, are reportedly considering a move for Florian Sotoca. The 35-year-old French RC Lens forward, who has been with the club since 2019, has a contract that expires in June. This season, the centre-forward has been used very little, playing only sixty-seven minutes in the league, always as a substitute, and has not scored any goals. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €2.00m. Olympique Lyonnais have also been linked with the forward.
