According to numerous reliable reports, Othmane Maamma's proposed switch to Nantes is off, with the forward now set to stay at Watford. Despite strong links and advanced talks, the transfer has broken down. It's a setback for Nantes, who had hoped to strengthen their squad in a key position before the deadline. The deal has fallen through, and while Nantes are moving on, clubs such as Monaco, Roma and Lille remain in the frame. Nantes's 25/26 output of 0.95 goals per game is behind league levels. The addition of Othmane Maamma would give them the sharper edge they're missing in front of goal. Watford have also been linked with Stephen Mfuni and Saba Goglichidze while Nantes are reportedly monitoring Amady Camara and Mohamed Kaba. Want more transfer rumours like this?
