What future for Evann Guessand? For the time being, it is difficult to say, but the Ivorian international (10 selections, 1 goal) is closer to the exit. “As long as he is there, I consider him a player in the workforce and we work to be efficient. Knowing that he heads for a 90 %departure ”had also assured Franck Haise, questioned about the future of his protégé. A speech going in the direction of that held by its sports director, Florian Maurice.

Asked on July 25 on the future of the native of Ajaccio, the leader of the Aiglons also left doubt. “I would like (keep it, editor's note). Really, because I really appreciate it. Nothing is impossible. Football is sometimes weird, but it seems difficult to me. Today he's there. We'll see”. It must be said that since the start of the summer transfer window, Evann Guessand has aroused many lusts. In the viewfinder of Villarreal, the right -hander of 1m88 is mainly followed by the Neom SC, promoted in Saudi Pro League and determined to ignite the market.

Guessand does not want to hear about Saudi Arabia!

Issue ? The player – who leaves a season at 13 goals and 10 assists in 42 matches in all competitions – is clearly not excited about the idea of joining Saudi Arabia. A choice that does not fail to tense the high spheres of the gym since an estimated transfer of 30 million euros seemed topical. Seduced by Neom's offer, Nice therefore hoped to conclude this deal quickly and continued to move forward on the replacement of the former Nantes.

According to the latest information from Nice-MatinEvann Guessand would prefer a departure to England or Germany. The local media specifies, as such, that discussions are already underway with Crystal Palace, although no offer has yet been transmitted. It remains to be seen whether the Aiglons player and board will be able to agree. At the risk of causing a big clash before the start of the season (Nice will welcome Toulouse on August 16).
