Like every Sunday, we bring you the latest news from OGC Nice’s summer transfer market. With a week remaining until the transfer window closes, the Gym has welcomed a new striker in recent days.
OGC Nice’s supporters had the opportunity to see a new face during the match against Auxerre this Saturday: Kevin Carlos. The forward joined the Aiglons at the beginning of the week from FC Basel. The Gym’s ultimate quest in recent days, the arrival of a new goal-scorer was designated as a priority by the club’s management. For this deal, Nice is said to have spent €6M. The Spaniard, who fits the profile of a number nine, made quite an impression in Switzerland thanks to his exceptional physical attributes for a player in his position (1.86m, 98 kg).
With a week left until the end of the transfer window, OGC Nice might still target another offensive reinforcement. Long pursued, it won’t be Lassine Sinayoko. The Malian, who participated in the match against Nice this Saturday, is expected to head to RC Lens. The demands from Auxerre were too high for the Gym, which withdrew from the deal.
Jonathan Clauss could leave OGC Nice
More bad news for Gym fans! As reported by Foot Mercato, Jonathan Clauss could leave OGC Nice during this transfer window, as he has drawn interest from Bayer Leverkusen. The German club’s interest wouldn’t leave the wing-back unmoved. In a press conference, Franck Haise noted that the departure of the French international was possible, provided Nice could find satisfactory financial terms.
Internally, the Côte d’Azur club is already moving to find him a replacement. According to L’Équipe, the top priority for Nice is Hamari Traoré. The former Stade Rennais player is coming off a difficult season with Real Sociedad, where he returned from an ACL injury. The name of the versatile defender Anthony Caci (Mainz) is also on the red and black shortlist.
In short, with a week left before the end of this summer transfer window, nothing is finalized yet for OGC Nice, in terms of both arrivals and departures!
