Transfer: Chidozie Awaziem Set to Leave Nantes for Turkish Club Konyaspor
Nigerian international defender Chidozie Awaziem, 29, is close to leaving FC Nantes to join Turkish Süper Lig side Konyaspor. Advanced discussions between the clubs have set a transfer fee of approximately €1 million. Awaziem, who has 40 caps and 2 goals for Nigeria, would sign a two-year contract with Konyaspor, which finished 9th in the last Turkish championship. He returned to Nantes last summer on a three-year deal but could not prevent the club's relegation to Ligue 2. In the 2023-24 season, he scored one goal and provided two assists in 26 matches. This marks his third stint in Turkey, having played there twice before. He follows teammate Alban Lafont, who is expected to join Turkish club Amedspor, as Nantes players depart for Turkey.
