FC Nantes officially announced on Thursday the departure of defender Nicolas Pallois (37) after eight distinguished years and 243 appearances for the club. The experienced centre-back hasn`t wasted time in lining up his next move.
According to reports from L`Équipe, the French defender is on the verge of signing a one-year contract with Stade de Reims, which includes an option for a second year. Pallois arrives at a club currently in a state of uncertainty, although Reims have successfully presented their budget to the DNCG for the upcoming season.
Les Stadistes were recently relegated to Ligue 2 following defeat to FC Metz in the promotion/relegation play-offs. However, there`s a possibility they could be reinstated to Ligue 1 immediately, pending the outcome of Olympique Lyonnais` appeal against their administrative relegation.
Therefore, it appears highly probable that Pallois will be a Reims player next season, with the division they will compete in remaining uncertain for now.
