More active in terms of departures than arrivals since the start of the transfer window, OGC Nice must find several players to strengthen its workforce. A left side, a right side and a midfielder are expected. But the operation is not easy to carry out for Florent Ghisolfi who has to deal with a particular situation with the takeover of Manchester United by Ineos, the current owner of the Gym.
The former strong man of the transfer window of RC Lens must therefore redouble his efforts and make his networks speak as well as his good knowledge of the transfer window to manage to strengthen Nice at a lower cost… especially for the position of right side. The Riviera club wants to bring density and competition to a position too often neglected by a Youcef Atal too often betrayed by his physique.
Nice wants to bring Ricardo Pereira back!
After exploring different avenues, OGC Nice made Ricardo Pereira a priority. Revealed by nice morning more than two weeks ago, this track has taken on consistency in the last few days. Despite a current contract until June 2026, Ricardo Pereira is clearly pushed towards the exit by Leicester City, freshly relegated to the Championship, who would like to sell a player who has nevertheless been playing with the Foxes since 2018 (123 matches – 9 goals scored, 14 assists delivered and an English Cup won).
For its part, Nice is trying to recover the player on loan according to our information. The 29-year-old Portuguese international, who already played in Nice between 2015 and 2017 (note: he was on loan from FC Porto), is meanwhile excited about the idea of returning to the Côte d’Azur in a club he knows well and in which he left only good memories. Although injured several times in recent seasons, the former FC Porto player is a safe bet in European football in his position. During his first seasons in England, he was considered one of the best full-backs in the Premier League thanks to his speed, dribbling skills and numerous one-on-one wins. A very nice move attempted by Florent Ghisolfi, who has more than one trick up his sleeve in the event of failure of the Ricardo Pereira file.
