OGC Nice Mercato: The environment, a priority for Lucien Favre
Qualified for the preliminary rounds of the Conference League, OGC Nice is in trouble this summer. The OGCN has not yet signed any major recruits since the opening of the summer transfer window. Recruiting a new goalkeeper is one of the priorities of Lucien Favre, the new coach of Nice. The Aiglons have lost Walter Benitez, free party at PSV Eindhoven at the end of his contract this summer. In addition to the goalkeeper position, the new Nice coach would expect a new environment. With possible departures from Kephrem ThuramMorgan Schneiderlin or even Mario Lemina, the Riviera club could complete a signing. According to foot market, a midfielder from Angers SCO would be targeted by Nice. Online media reveals that Batista Mendy interests the last 5th in Ligue 1.
Batista Mendy on the shelves of the OGCN
The source understands that the profile of Batista Mendy is of interest to OGC Nice. Aged 22, the former Canary can also be assessed in the axis of defense. He joined the SCO last summer as a free agent following the expiration of his contract at FC Nantes. At the end of the exercise carried out, the young rock (81 kg, 1m91) played 35 games with the Scoists for a goal and an assist. After his first full season in the top flight, the midfielder could therefore join an outsider this summer. He could be seduced by the prospect of discovering a European Cup with the OGCN.
Still under contract until 2024, the native of Saint-Nazaire is listed at 3 million euros on Transfermarkt. The Riviera club should only go on the offensive in the event of a departure in its midfield. Suffice to say that the Nice supporters will still have to wait before seeing a new recruit land. Alone Rare Ilia and Badredine Bouanani joined the Gym.
