The amount has not been disclosed but is estimated to be close to 4 million euros according to a statement on the official OGC Nice website. The deal could have easily fallen through last Wednesday when the Nice player decided to leave his teammates, showing clear impatience about his transfer. This prompted an immediate response from President Maurice Cohen, who subsequently canceled the scheduled meeting with the Breton officials visiting the Côte d’Azur for the Cannes Tournament, the trophy of which, by the way, went to Brittany with Rennes’ final victory against Bruges (1-0).
A successful tactic for the Nice president, who thus opens the golden cage for the eaglet Fanni, allowing him to fly towards Breton lands; it is simply unfortunate that this final episode was marred by behavior likely perceived as childish by the new Rennes full-back.
The red and black war chest continues to be filled through major transfers, and with a full purse now, OGC Nice can look at the shelves of this peaceful transfer market. Rumors eagerly imagine a Fae, a Signorino, or a Cousin, but only the future will reveal which new player will join the challenge in red and black next year.
The ideal team for the 2007/2008 season
It’s your turn to propose yours!!!!!
