As every Sunday, we summarize the latest news from the Nice transfer market for you. Just days before the clash against Benfica, an important case is stirring up the backstage at the Gym.
Will he leave, or will he stay? At the center of all discussions, Evann Guessand remains, for now, a player of OGC Nice. The Aiglons’ striker has permission to leave and theoretically seems closer to a departure, as he intends to take a new step this summer. According to Nice-Matin, the club from Neom, which has already recruited Marcin Bulka, has reportedly offered €30M for the Ivorian forward. Internally, the Gym is pushing for the transfer to happen. Problem is, the attacker does not want to join Saudi Arabia and is waiting for moves from Premier League or Bundesliga clubs. Crystal Palace, also interested in the player, has reportedly not made progress on the case. In short, the situation is stalled.
On the OGC Nice side, they would have liked to wrap up this case earlier, so they could quickly move on to identifying his replacement. But the case has dragged on since the beginning of the summer, which is not ideal as Franck Haise’s players will play the 3rd preliminary round of the Champions League first leg this Wednesday, August 6, at the Allianz Riviera, against Benfica Lisbon. The Aiglons are already playing big in this first official confrontation of the 2025/26 season.
Jérémie Boga on the way out
No longer in Franck Haise’s plans, the Ivorian international is expected to pack his bags during this summer transfer window. Reportedly close to Trabzonspor, Jérémie Boga has ultimately refused to move to Turkey. The club had proposed an exchange between the winger and midfielder Batista Mendy, whose profile was appreciated by the Azur management. After this refusal, the deal will not take place.
On the arrivals side, OGC Nice has recorded a sixth summer reinforcement by announcing the arrival of Zoumana Diallo. The young striker (20 years old) comes from Strasbourg, where he completed his entire training. Initially, the player will join the Elite group, with the aim of integrating into the professional group in the long term.
