In loss of playing time at OM, Steve Mandanda would be close to joining a Ligue 1 rival, according to Mohamed Henni.

Mandanda to OGC Nice, Henni’s latest bomb

Relegated to the bench by Pau Lopez, Steve Mandanda now sees his future compromised at Olympique de Marseille. Although still under contract until 2024, the French world champion could leave OM this winter. For Mohamed Henni, the 36-year-old goalkeeper is going to put his bags down with a rival. On social networks, he announces that the Marseille goalkeeper will join OGC Nice, current second in Ligue 1.

“I have exclusive information, everything has been done internally, it’s done. There is nothing more to negotiate, it is with great sadness that I announce that Steve Mandanda has left OM to join OGC Nice. He’s ready to leave, he’s going to move, it’s not a rumor, it’s done at 2 billion percent. Steve Mandanda is from Nice, I want to cry when I say that”, launched Mohamed Henni in a viral video.

Another undesirable from Sampaoli to Nice this winter?

In the event of Steve Mandanda’s departure from OGC Nice, Christophe Galtier would welcome a new undesirable from Jorge Sampaoli this winter. Marseille already ready Jordan Amavi at the Gym with an option to purchase. With only four games played under the colors of OM this season, the side did not enter the plans of the Argentinian technician. The left-back played his first minutes with the Aiglons during the last outing against FC Nantes (2-1 victory).

Now confined to a substitute role at Olympique de Marseille, the international goalkeeper (34 caps) could therefore join his teammate in Nice. A departure all the more possible as the Riviera club wants to prepare a departure from Walter Benitez next summer. At the end of the season, the 28-year-old porter will only have one contract with the Gym. Which should not oppose his sale failing to see him go free in a year, at the end of his contract.
