Nantes are eager to hold onto Sheffield United striker Benie Traore.
Traore has spent the second-half of this season on-loan with the French club.
He has played 14 competitive matches and produced one assist.
Fotbolldirekt.se says Nantes wants to buy Traor, even though he has not yet netted for them. The French club has a purchase option, but it is unclear what it is.
Traore joined the Blades last summer from Sweden's BK Hacken.
