As every Sunday, we summarize the latest transfer news from OGC Nice. On the Gym’s side, the last few days have been marked by the arrival of a new recruit, whose track had been activated by Franck Haise.
Undoubtedly, this summer transfer window is quite complicated for OGC Nice! The latest proof is the Mahdi Camara case. Eager to strengthen their midfield, the Gym had activated the lead to the player from Stade Brestois. The red and black management had reached an agreement with their Breton counterparts and then with the player. But that was without counting a last-minute twist in this saga. At the last moment, Stade Rennais made the same offer, but with a significantly higher salary for the midfielder. Despite having initially given his word, he decided to continue his career under the Rennes colors.
Faced with failure, the Aiglons were forced to activate a new track in this area of the game. At the request of Franck Haise, OGC Nice announced the arrival of Salis Abdul Samed on Thursday. The defensive midfielder is very familiar with the Nice coach. The two men had crossed paths during their common time at Lens. Since then, the Ghanaian’s sporting situation had become more complex in the north of France. Sidelined at the Sang et Or, he was looking for an exit door in this transfer window. The azurean club would have completed the deal at around 2M€.
Who will be the much-anticipated striker?
Another priority for the end of Nice’s transfer window is recruiting one or more offensive players. Although the name Odsonne Édouard was mentioned earlier this week, the French striker is unlikely to be the lucky one. Discussions with Crystal Palace are stalled, and the Gym may turn to other options. According to RMC Sport, OGC Nice might take action in Switzerland. The profile of the striker Kévin Carlos is particularly appreciated by the azurean board.
Spanish and English clubs are also in the race. Finally, the Aiglons have not let go of the track Lassine Sinayoko. As announced on our site last week, the player from AJ Auxerre could join the French Riviera. Discussions have reportedly advanced well between the two clubs in recent days, although nothing is settled yet. Stay tuned!
On the departure side, Pablo Rosario is expected, barring any surprise, to leave OGC Nice in the coming days. As a reminder, the midfielder refuses to play any match to avoid risking injury, which could hinder his departure. The continuation of his career could be written in Saudi Arabia. FC Porto, where a certain Francesco Farioli has just arrived, is reportedly keeping an eye on the case.
