OGC Nice manager Lucien Favre has opened up on the French Ligue 1 side’s move to get the signature of RSC Anderlecht winger Francis Amuzu this summer.
The 22-year-old Ghanaian-Belgian attacker has been linked with a move away from Anderlecht to France to continue his career.
The Belgians are keen on keeping Amuzu at the club as they see him to be an important player this season following the departure of Sergio Gomez who is joining Man City.
Nice are said to have offered 10 million euros to sign the Ghanaian winger and reports suggested Amuzu is set to undergo his medical examination this week so as to complete his transfer.
Favre said negotiations between the club and the player are in the right direction but much will depend on the player who will decide on his future.
“It seemed to be going in the right direction with Amuzu, but today I don’t know if it will be okay. It is the player himself who will have the last word,” Favre expressed.
“Sometimes players want to come at some point, but then change their mind.”
Amuzu had an impressive campaign with Anderlecht last season hit double figures in goal scoring. He scored 10 goals and provided 5 assists in 46 matches in all competitions.
He is up and running in the 2022-23 campaign after netting twice in four matches in the Belgium Jupiler Pro League.
