FC Nantes is one of the main parties in France interested in Al Shabab winger Yannick Ferreira Carrasco. Reports in France indicate the club is exploring creative financial deals, including bonuses for avoiding relegation, to match the player's salary.

Yannick Carrasco may leave his Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab this winter, as the team is reportedly facing severe financial problems, with FC Nantes being one of the interested parties. However, a move is considered unlikely as Carrasco's reported gross annual salary of €13 million is thought to be unaffordable for the French club. The Belgian international joined Al-Shabab in September 2023 for a reported €15 million, and his contract runs until June 2027.
