TIRANA, Aug. 31 – Albania’s captain Lorik Cana is back to France where he started his career as a professional footballer in the early 2000s. The 32-year old defender has joined France’s Ligue 1 club Nantes from Italy’s Lazio after few playing opportunities.
Cana, who has been capped 73 times by the Albanian national side, has joined the French club on a two-year deal for an undisclosed amount.
Born in Kosovo, Cana began his professional career in France with Paris Saint Germain and also played for Marseille, Sunderland and Galatasaray before moving to Italy with Lazio in 2011.
He is still a regular starter with the national side and much of the success in the Euro 2016 qualifiers is also dedicated to him.
