FC Nantes approaches a contract agreement with goalkeeper Patrik Carlgren

Summary

FC Nantes is near a deal to re-sign free agent goalkeeper Patrik Carlgren to a one-year contract. The 34-year-old Swedish player previously left the club at the end of June. The move follows a serious knee injury to reserve goalkeeper Alexis Mirbach, who is expected to be sidelined for approximately three months. Nantes currently utilizes Maxime Dupé as the first-choice goalkeeper. The club pursued a medical exemption to add depth to the position following the injury to Mirbach. Carlgren made four appearances for the club last season while serving as an understudy to Anthony Lopes.
