He won’t be too upset. But will have to change the red and black landscape. Midfielder Sofiane Diop leaves AS Monaco to join OGC Nice. The international hopeful (11 selections / 4 goals) no longer fit into Philippe Clément’s plans on the Rock (1 game this season) and will find a coach at the Gym who is delighted to be able to count on a new weight reinforcement in front, a few days after the arrival of Nicolas Pépé. The two men can become the owners of the red and black attack sides. And if the Ivorian winger is only on loan from Arsenal until the end of the season, Sofiane Diop definitely puts down his bags in the Baie des Anges. Le Gym would have paid more than 20 million euros for his services, which would make the player trained at Stade Rennes the most expensive recruit in the history of OGC Nice.
“I will remain an Aiglon all my life”
In the other direction, OGC Nice formalizes this Monday evening the departure of Flavius Daniliuc. The young Austrian defender (21) signs on the other side of the Alps in the Salernitana club. After 55 games played in two seasons under the colors of Nice, the Austrian international hopeful hopes to impose himself in the three-man defense of this ambitious Italian club, winner 4-0 Sunday of Sampdoria of Genoa. “I will remain an Aiglon all my life“Here are the last words of the big guy (1m88) with a very endearing personality. The Gym cashes a check but will have to find a replacement for him when he has only three professional central defenders today. The transfer window closes on Thursday evening at midnight.
