Nantes signs Saïdou Sow on loan from Strasbourg

Summary

FC Nantes has secured the loan signing of Saïdou Sow from RC Strasbourg, with an option to buy. This transaction was confirmed by both clubs on August 7, 2026. Sow, a 24-year-old centre-back, returns to Nantes after a previous loan stint during the second half of the 2024-2025 season. He brings valuable experience from his time in Ligue 2, which may aid Nantes' ambitions for a swift return to Ligue 1 after a disappointing season that saw them finish second-to-last. Nantes begins their Ligue 2 campaign this Saturday against Red Star FC.
