OGC Nice has taken Juma Bah on loan from Manchester City to strengthen their central defense.

Nice is completing a deal for Manchester City's talented defender Juma Bah, despite a bid from Lyon. The agreement is almost done and will be completed in the next 24-48 hours.

Juma Bah, a solid central defender currently on loan at Lens, prefers a move to OGC Nice. Nice is confident about signing the Sierra Leonean player, especially since they have the opportunity to play in the Champions League if they pass the qualification rounds.

OGC Nice is making an effort to acquire Juma Bah, entering into competition with Olympique Lyonnais for the player's loan. The player is anticipated to make a decision shortly. The Sierra-Leonean defender, who made a strong impression during his loan spell at Lens in the latter part of the season, is at the heart of a potential transfer development. Lyon had earlier negotiated for Bah as part of their transactions involving Rayan Cherki's prospective move to Manchester City, but Nice is now striving to secure the 19-year-old, who has made 10 appearances in Ligue 1 with Lens this season. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that the situation remains open, with Bah's decision expected soon.
