Super Eagles winger Moses Simon has completed a €7 million move from FC Nantes to newly promoted Ligue 1 side Paris FC, according to top transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Simon, who turns 30 next month, has reportedly sign a three-year deal that will see him earn double his salary from his time at Nantes.
The Nigerian international spent six fruitful seasons with FC Nantes, becoming a fan favorite for his consistent performances. During his time at the club, he played a crucial role in helping them avoid relegation and reach back-to-back Coupe de France finals in 2022 and 2023. He was instrumental in their 2022 cup triumph, when Nantes defeated OGC Nice to claim their fourth Coupe de France title.

— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 24, 2025Last season, Simon delivered another stellar campaign with eight goals and 10 assists, helping Nantes finish 13th in Ligue 1 with 36 points—just six points above the relegation zone. In total, he registered 37 goals and 42 assists in 201 appearances for the Canaries.
Despite interest from other Ligue 1 clubs such as Rennes and Marseille, as well as English Premier League side Everton, Paris FC have won the race for his signature.
Paris FC will be playing in Ligue 1 for the first time in 46 years after securing promotion with a 1-1 draw against FC Martigues. Their historic promotion has been backed by new financial muscle, following a midseason takeover by the billionaire Arnault family and Red Bull GmbH.
The club’s ownership structure includes Agache Sport (Arnault family’s holding company) with a 52.4% stake, Red Bull GmbH holding 10.6%, Alter Paris (led by Pierre Ferracci) with 29.8%, and BRI Sports Holdings owning 7.2%.
Simon is expected to play a vital role in helping Paris FC stay competitive in France’s top flight as the club prepares for its most ambitious campaign yet. His experience and attacking prowess make him a key addition to a squad looking to make an impact in Ligue 1.
