As every Sunday, we review the latest news regarding the summer transfer market for the Gym. On this week’s agenda, the likely arrival of a second signing.
Preparation continues for the OGC Nice! With one month to go before the restart of Ligue 1, the Eagles are continuing their pre-season. This Friday, Franck Haise’s men once again drew against Leganes, a Spanish club. Bilal Brahimi and Jérémie Boga are the two Nice scorers in this match.
Starting this Monday, July 22nd, the Gym will head to Austria for its annual preparation camp held at this time of the year. This is an important step to gain momentum in the Nice pre-season.
Jonathan Clauss is getting closer to the French Riviera
As announced last week, the leaders of OGC Nice were interested in Jonathan Clauss. In recent days, the fullback seems to be getting closer to joining the Gym squad. According to Le Parisien, the two clubs have reportedly reached an agreement at around €5 million.
Currently on vacation, the French international is set to undergo his medical examination in the coming days. Jonathan Clauss would reunite with his former coach, Franck Haise, on the French Riviera. Quite a catch for OGC Nice, which would strengthen the right side of its defense.
Todibo towards a move to Juventus Turin?
With an exit pass granted, the departure of Jean-Clair Todibo was confirmed earlier this summer by Nice’s leaders. The club is making progress in negotiations with West Ham. However, the central defender is prioritizing a move to Juventus Turin. According to RMC, the French international has a contractual agreement with the Italian club.
The red and black transfer market is also active on departures. The Gym has officially confirmed the departure of Yannis Nahounou, a young defender from the youth academy, to Serie B (second Italian division).
Finally, Mattia Viti is also expected to leave OGC Nice. According to the Italian press, he will move to Empoli. As a reminder, the central defender never established himself on the French Riviera and was loaned out to Sassuolo last season.
