Ligue 1's Nice is currently facing an unprecedented number of injuries in front of goal, with a number of key players suffering injuries that have greatly reduced the team's attacking power. According to the latest report from L'Equipe, in order to alleviate this crisis, Nice is actively looking for a solution in the transfer market and has set its sights on several free agents, including Yazezhe, Mopai, Ben Yedder and Depay.
Nice have suffered heavily in pre-season. Murphy is out for a long time with an ACL injury, while Boga is close to a comeback but is rumored to be on the verge of a move to Roma, which undoubtedly creates even more uncertainty for Nice's forward line. In addition, Diop's return from a long-term injury is far from certain, while Laborde suffered an unfortunate metatarsal fracture in Friday's training session and is expected to be out for 2-3 months. This series of injuries has left Nice's front line stretched thin, and a new striker is urgently needed to fill the void.
In the face of limited financial resources, Nice Club is particularly cautious in attracting reinforcements. Previously, a number of French media have reported that Nice intends to introduce the former Lille striker Yazhezhe and former Nice player Mopai, these two free players to join without having to pay the transfer fee, is undoubtedly a financial benefit for Nice. However, with the Everton striker Mopai transfer rumors heating up, Nice's difficulty in introducing him is gradually increasing.
However, a new report from L'Equipe has brought new hope to Nice fans. It is reported that Nice has also set its sights on two other free agents - Ben Yedder and Depay. Both players have left their mark on European soccer, and their joining will undoubtedly greatly enhance Nice's attacking strength. However, salary requirements could be the biggest obstacle for Nice to bring them in. Depay, in particular, is currently training in Monaco, just a few kilometers away from Nice, but given his salary expectations and Nice's financial situation, signing the former Atletico Madrid striker will still be difficult.
Nevertheless, Nice FC have not given up trying. They are actively making contact with these free agents and hope to find a suitable solution before the transfer window closes. For Nice, it has become a priority to solve the problem of injuries up front and bring in new strikers as soon as possible, and they must win this race against time.
