Nantes are in need of a new goalkeeper after the injury to Alexis Mirbach, with coach Grégory Poirier reportedly considering Red Star's Gaëtan Poussin. However, this option is not deemed feasible for Nantes. Poussin is the Red Star's first-choice goalkeeper, aged 27, with a contract until 2027.

Nantes have already signed two former Red Star players, Ryad Hachem and Balthazar Pierret, in the transfer window. The club will play Nancy on Monday evening at 20h45 in a postponed 5th round match, with Maxime Dupé in goal and Yanel Zézé as his backup.
