How long it was! Seventh in the Ligue 1 standings, Lorient owed a good part of its excellent first part of the season to its striker Terem Moffi. Author of 12 goals in 18 matches, the 23-year-old Nigerian striker will not finish the season with the Merlus. Courted by Olympique de Marseille and OGC Nice, Moffi saw the two southern clubs tearing themselves apart to recruit him. The Phocaeans also thought they would come out of this battle as agnates.
As a reminder, Lorient preferred to send their player to OM. Pablo Longoria’s club does not have the same financial power as the Gym, but it initially intended to include Bamba Dieng in the deal to lower the rating and allow FCL to quickly enlist Moffi’s successor. But in the end, not everything went as planned. Moffi has always shown his preference for Nice and the Aiglons have come back with several offers.
Nice efforts rewarded
The fifth proposal was moreover €20 million plus €3 million in bonuses. Insufficient for the boss of the Hakes, Loïc Féry. This did not dampen the ardor of the people of Nice since we revealed to you that a sixth offer had left for Brittany. Optimism was then on the Côte d’Azur side. The proof, Didier Digard allowed himself to tease OM when a journalist launched him on Moffi’s desire to join Nice rather than Marseille. “Having a smart boy is good. »
An optimism that has been confirmed since we are able to announce that the OGCN and the FCL have finally reached an agreement for the transfer of the Nigerian striker. OGC Nice has increased its offer over the days, to reach €30m including bonuses. A sum which will therefore be paid at the end of the season. After long weeks of negotiation, Terem Moffi will finally be Nice.
