OGC Nice continue to attempt to offload Terem Moffi and a new candidate has emerged for the Nigerian’s signature, as per a report from Foot Mercato.
Moffi was one of two players to leave the club following an episode back in November. Upon the return of Le Gym’s team bus, following a defeat against FC Lorient, fans attacked players and staff. Moffi was a particular target of the fans’ ire and he, alongside Jérémie Boga, was put on sick leave.
He would not play again for Nice and would depart on loan in January. Boga also left, joining Juventus, initially on loan. That move has now been made permanent. Moffi, however, has returned. He was present for the return to pre-season training on Wednesday and is under contract until the end of the season.
Nice are desperate to offload him, however, as new sporting director Roger Ricort made blatantly clear. “He is on the list of players we want to leave. He will surely be transferred elsewhere,” began Ricort, who has succeeded Florian Maurice in the role.
Nice are desperate to sell the striker, whilst Moffi is also keen to depart. He has now been identified as a target for Bundesliga side Hamburg.
