Alban Lafont is set to join Turkish Super Lig side Ademspor on a three-year contract, according to L’Équipe. The move will see the 27-year-old goalkeeper depart FC Nantes, where he had been a mainstay for several seasons.
Lafont’s time at Nantes saw him feature in 198 matches, establishing himself as a key player despite periods of inconsistency. However, injuries hampered his progress during the 2023-2024 season, leading to him losing his place in the starting eleven. Nantes have recently signed Maxime Dupé, who is expected to take over goalkeeping duties.
Prior to a loan spell with Panathinaikos, where he enjoyed a successful season, Lafont had cemented his position as Nantes’ number one. The transfer represents a fresh start for the player, offering him the opportunity to secure regular first-team football. Ademspor, a club with a significant Kurdish fanbase, will be hoping Lafont’s experience will bolster their squad.
FC Nantes are expected to receive a fee for the transfer. The move comes as Nantes look to reshape their squad following a period of transition. Lafont’s departure allows Dupé to establish himself as the club’s primary goalkeeper, providing stability in a key position. This transfer could provide Ademspor with a significant boost as they look to compete in the Turkish Super Lig.
