Deportivo La Coruña is monitoring Nathan Zézé, a 21-year-old French defender who plays for NEOM SC in Saudi Arabia, as an alternative target in their efforts to strengthen their defense. Zézé, who has been capped by France at the U21 level, joined the Saudi club from Nantes in July 2025 for a reported fee between €20 million and €25 million, and his contract runs until 2030. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €20 million. Prior to his move to Saudi Arabia, it was reported that Nantes rejected a verbal offer of around €20 million from Bournemouth in May 2025. Galatasaray and Real Sociedad have also been linked with the player.
