Showing a broad smile, the new number 37 poses proudly in front of the Aiglons logo. Sofiane Diop signs for five seasons with OGC Nice. The amount of the transfer, 20 million euros, is up to the hopes placed in this young left winger with an already well-filled CV. International hope with the France teamhe also knew the Champions League and the Europa League, all at 22 years old.
“Nice is a big club with a lot of ambition. The choice was quickly made.” – Sofiane Diop
Si Diop, not completely physically fit, will not be in the game against Lille this Wednesday for, perhaps, Nice’s first victory in the Ligue 1 championship, he could well be aligned against his former Monegasque partners Sunday night at the Allianz Arena. “The timing is a bit unusual, of course, but it’s a derby, you have to win” tempers Sofiane Diop, already in the Red and Black bath.
Still in the arrivals department at OGC Nice, Fabrice Bocquet replaces Julien Fournier and takes the functions of general manager within the club.
