According to a new report from leading French media outlet Nice Matin, Everton striker Mo Pai is interested in returning to his childhood parent club Nice FC. The news has attracted a lot of attention in the Ligue 1 and Premier League transfer market.
Mopane's recent form at Everton has not been good, as he did not get a chance to play in the Premier League season opener against Brighton, and was on the bench again in Saturday's away game against Tottenham Hotspur. These are signs that Mopey's position at Everton is not secure and that he is not a sellable player.
Earlier, Mopey has attracted the attention of Marseille, another Ligue 1 powerhouse. Marseille are looking for a replacement for Faris Mumbana following his injury and have made an offer of a loan plus an optional buyout to Everton, but the offer has been rejected by Everton. However, that hasn't stopped Mopane from seeking a possible return to Ligue 1.
According to the Nice Morning Post, Mauro is open to a return to Nice. The 28-year-old French striker has a deep affection for Nice and would be willing to consider a return to the team he supported as a child. Although Nice is not yet officially considering bringing Mopai back to the team, injury problems within the squad could change that. Both Laborde and Mouffet have suffered injuries in Nice's squad, leaving the team short on offense.
In addition, Mopey is in the final year of his current contract, which facilitates his transfer. Everton, faced with the imminent expiration of a player's contract, usually do not set too many obstacles for the player's departure. Therefore, if the Nice side can make a reasonable offer and meet Everton's requirements, the possibility of Mopai's return to Nice will be greatly increased.
