Nantes

Waldemar Kita, the owner of French Ligue 1 club FC Nantes, is once again in the spotlight over a potential sale of the club. Reports say an agreement worth around 125 million euros has revived talks to finally complete a long-running sale, ending months of uncertainty about the club's future.

The name Nantes is trending in France. Searches are clustered around the country's public sector strike movement, which has seen protests flare up in several cities, including Tours, where police reportedly fired tear gas after stones were thrown outside a high school. No specific incident in Nantes itself is confirmed by the available reports.
