On Tuesday, Ligue 1 rivals Nice came to the news that 31-year-old Welsh international Alan Lance has officially joined the team, and the two sides have signed a two-year contract. The new star has not only become the highest paid player in the history of Nice, but also his transfer fee is as high as 12 million euros, highlighting the ambition of Nice in the new season.
After leaving Zuyundas, Aylan Lance received an offer from a USL side, but he ultimately chose to stay in Europe and join Nice, who are in the midst of a major overhaul. He excitedly stated on social media, "Starting a new chapter in Nice, can't wait to get into the fray!"
Nice is backed by British billionaire Ratcliffe, who has been aggressively expanding his squad in recent years, and last season managed to qualify for the UEFA Cup with a fifth-place finish in Ligue 1. Currently, Nice has Danish striker Dolberg and ex-Manchester United midfielder Shuni Darien in the squad. It is also reported that the team is close to signing Liszt City's Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmidtgall.
