Super Eagles winger Moses Simon may decide to stay at FC Nantes for further seasons, amid rumours of a summer exit, Soccernet.ng reports.
Per reports from We Sport from North Star Network, the Nigerian international is weighing stability over a big move away from France.
Moses has been particularly linked with a move to Everton, and Ligue 1 rivals Marseille and Rennes. Despite this, the Super Eagles forward could now make a surprising U-turn and remain at Ligue 1 side FC Nantes.
Sources close to the player suggest he is not in a rush to leave. The former Levante man is still under contract until 2026 and is reportedly prioritising stability ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

According to LiveFoot, Simon is also aiming to obtain French citizenship—a move that could further anchor his decision to stay in France for at least another season.
FC Nantes narrowly finished 13th with 36 points in the just concluded 2024-25 season campaign, finishing just three points above the drop zone.
With a new season ahead and fan pressure mounting on president Waldemar Kita, the club is planning a rebuild, and retaining Simon could be a vital part of that.
Scoring eight goals and providing 10 assists last term, the Super Eagles forward has been a key figure at the club since joining in 2020, and his experience could prove invaluable as Nantes looks to return to mid-table stability or better.
Nantes supporters, tired of years of inconsistency and stagnation, will be watching closely to see if the board shows enough ambition this summer—starting with keeping hold of their Nigerian talisman.
At the country level, Moses Simon continues to make valuable impact for Eric Chelle’s men and was crucial in their Unity Cup success at the Gtech Stadium in London.
