Jean-Kevin Duverne transfers to Omonia Nicosia from Nantes

On August 7, 2026, reports from France confirmed that 29-year-old Haitian international defender Jean-Kevin Duverne has permanently departed FC Nantes to join the Cypriot first-division club Omonia Nicosia. The transfer concludes his tenure with the French side, where he had one year remaining on his contract.

Duverne, who joined Nantes in the summer of 2023, spent significant time on loan in Belgium, playing for Kortrijk from January to June 2025 and for Gent throughout the previous season. The versatile defender, who can operate on the right flank as well as in the center, recently participated in the 2026 World Cup with Haiti. While French media outlet Ouest-France reports the move as a completed permanent transfer, other local reports mention that he departs as a free agent despite his existing contract status.

This move marks a definitive end to his time with the 'Canaries' after his recent appearances for the team just one week prior. No further details regarding the duration of his new contract with the Nicosia club have been disclosed at this time.
