Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset’s “Little Sister” interview!
OGC Nice continues to be active on the transfer market. After a relatively disappointing start to the season, marked by two draws in Ligue 1 and a defeat against Maccabi Tel-Aviv in C4, the Aiglons want to strengthen. If the attack is targeted, with in particular the Nicolas Pépé track, Lucien Favre also wishes to garnish his midfield. According to information from Foot 24hfootnewsthe Riviera club would have come into contact with Miralem Pjanic.
?Info: Nice approached Miralem Pjanic ??.
■ Mutual interest.
■ Xavi ?? does not count on him.
■ For the moment no offer formulated.
■ Nice would first like to sell a midfielder.
■ At the same time, and as revealed, the Pépé ?? file is progressing well.https://t.co/WpvQt3y47A— Santi Aouna (@Santi_J_FM) August 19, 2022
The Bosnian international, loaned to Besiktas by the Blaugranas last season, is not in Xavi’s plans. The Catalan club is ready to let go of its player to clean up its finances. For his part, the former Lyonnais would not be opposed to a return to Ligue 1. Now all that remains is to settle the question of salary. The former Juventus player receives 6.5 million euros per year, a sum too high for the leaders of Nice. No offer has yet been made.
At the same time, OGC Nice would be in a good position to welcome Nicolas Pépé in the form of a loan. The Athletic affirms that the discussions are continuing and that an agreement could quickly be reached. The Gunners are awaiting the departure of the Ivorian international to be able to embark on the recruitment of a winger.
? Arsenal in talks with Nice about sending Nicolas Pepe on loan. Not done but ongoing discussions with hope it gets there. #AFC chances of signing a new winger always thought to have depended on 27yo winger leaving @TheAthleticUK after @garyjacob #OGCNice https://t.co/F5FO8dzAyd
