Marchetti's Nantes switch stalls until Paris FC frees him

Vincent Marchetti, the 29‑year‑old midfielder, has reportedly chosen to depart Paris FC and join FC Nantes this summer Mercato, but the move hinges on the Parisian club agreeing to release him from the final year of his contract, a situation the Canaries have been pursuing for weeks.

FC Nantes, the Jaune et Vert, has been working on the Marchetti dossier for several weeks, according to Ouest‑France.

Le club hopes Paris FC will free the former Ajaccien from his remaining contract year, allowing him to sign freely in Loire‑Atlantique, mirroring the recent transfer of Mathieu Cafaro.

La competition for midfield spots at Paris FC was intense. Marchetti’s last season saw him regularly deployed in midfield, contributing experience and technical quality, though he never secured an undisputed starting role.

The French midfielder has expressed a desire to leave Paris FC, requesting that the club settle his final contract year to facilitate the move to Nantes. The Club hopes the transfer can be completed before the window closes.

The Canaries have not lost hope of recruiting him, keeping the transfer on their radar as the summer window approaches its close.

Monitoring will continue until the end of the summer transfer window, as indicated by club communications on August 6, 2026.
