French goalkeeper Maxime Dupé, 33, is set to leave Nice when his contract expires at the end of the season and intends to rejoin FC Nantes, where he began his professional career. According to Foot Mercato, a return to Nantes is the goalkeeper's priority, even with the club's relegation to Ligue 2. This potential move is opportune for Nantes, who are preparing for the departure of Anthony Lopes as his contract also ends in June. Discussions are in progress between Dupé's representatives and the club's management to find a quick agreement. Dupé joined Nice in January 2024 and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €800k.
