Mostafa Mohamed
Club: Nantes
Hours ago, the French newspaper L'Équipe revealed that Mostafa Mohamed is close to joining Konyaspor during the current summer transfer window.
A report by the website Konyanin Sesi stated that Konyaspor is currently holding talks with Nantes regarding signing Mostafa Mohamed.
However, the club will not proceed with finalizing the deal before the departure of their striker Blaž Kramer, who is attracting interest from several teams, including Antalyaspor, which submitted an offer deemed far too weak by Konyaspor.
The 30-year-old Slovenian has requested a three-year contract extension with Konyaspor along with a salary increase, while the club is only willing to extend for two seasons; so far, both parties have failed to reach an agreement.
According to the report, negotiations for Mostafa Mohamed's transfer to Konyaspor would accelerate in the event of Kramer's potential departure.
According to L'Équipe, Mostafa is nearing a move to Konyaspor in a deal worth approximately one million euros.
Mostafa Mohamed has one season remaining on his contract with Nantes, which expires in the summer of 2027.
Nantes was relegated to the French second division last season.
Mostafa Mohamed missed most of Nantes' pre-season preparation after halting training at the beginning of the season, before returning to train with the reserve team.
The Egyptian striker missed Nantes' first three matches of the season.
Nantes decided to dismiss their coach following losses in the first three matches due to poor results.
Mostafa Mohamed could join the Turkish league, following Mohamed Salah, who signed with Trabzonspor.
The former Zamalek striker previously played in the Turkish league with Galatasaray.
Nantes signed Mostafa Mohamed from Galatasaray for 6.5 million euros.
Since joining three years ago, Mostafa Mohamed has played 136 matches for Nantes, scoring 29 goals.
