Super Eagles winger Moses Simon has completed his medical ahead of a prospective move to Paris FC, signalling the end of his five‑year stay at FC Nantes. The 29 year old revealed that he’s open to fresh challenges abroad but will not move to another Ligue 1 club, respecting his legacy at Nantes. Paris FC, backed by the Arnault family, are leading suitors and have reportedly made an offer of around €12 million for Simon.
This follows a notable season in which Simon topped Ligue 1 for completed take‑ons (65) and recorded eight goals and ten assists, helping Nantes to mid‑table survival. After undergoing ankle screw removal surgery in January, he returned to action to play a vital role in their campaign.
Simon expressed gratitude to Nantes, marking over 200 appearances for the club and stating that he would only consider a move abroad if the club decides to sell. Paris FC, newly promoted to top flight, view him as the attacking leader who can secure their Ligue 1 status.
Editorial
We commend Moses Simon’s professionalism during this transitional period. Prioritising his well-being and openly declaring his respect for Nantes sets a positive precedent for player‑club relations. This move reflects maturity: career progression without burning bridges.

We believe his choice of Paris FC is both ambitious and sensible. Joining a club with strong backing and a clear role leading their attacking line is preferable to becoming a squad member at a big-name club. For Simon, as ever, playing time and impact matter most.
We feel that Paris FC’s strategy backed by serious investment—points to a project that mirrors Simon’s recent story: overcoming adversity, delivering results, and leading from the front. His presence could be transformative in their bid to secure Ligue 1 safety.
We emphasise that this isn’t a farewell, but an evolution. Simon leaves Nantes having cemented his place in club history—both in heart and stats. Now he steps into a fresh challenge, carrying readiness, respect, and resilience. We stand convinced: moves crafted around fit, respect, and ambition define the modern era. Simon’s next chapter promises not just new scenery but renewed purpose.
