After a defeat against Olympique de Marseille on Wednesday, the Eagles are heading to Brittany to face the league leader, Rennes, and regain their momentum.
New recruits will be present against Rennes on Sunday. Kasper Dolberg, Alexis Claude-Maurice, and Adam Ounas were introduced this Friday noon and will likely be in coach Vieira’s starting eleven.
The day after the derby, Mickael Le Bihan bid farewell to his teammates. The former Le Havre player is leaving OGC Nice at the end of this summer transfer window. An agreement has been reached with AJ Auxerre (Ligue 2) for a transfer.
OGC Nice confirms that Gauthier Ganaye has resigned from his position as President of OGC Nice, following the Club’s ownership transfer to INEOS.
On the Rennes side, they have had a flawless run since the resumption of the league. With 9 points, Rennes is ahead of Lyon (2nd) and PSG (3rd).
Note the potential return of Hatem Ben Arfa to OGC Nice. As a reminder, the young midfielder is on loan from Nice to Rennes.
