OGC Nice has expressed interest in signing Malian midfielder Amadou Haidara, 27, as part of their efforts to strengthen their midfield. This interest comes in light of injuries and their unsuccessful attempt to secure Mahdi Camara. Nice aims to outpace Paris FC in their pursuit of Haidara. The club's focus on Haidara's profile intensified following their exit from the Champions League preliminary round against Benfica, which underscored their need to reinforce the squad, especially after Morgan Sanson's injury. Paris FC, who had been in advanced talks with Leipzig and had made Haidara a priority for their midfield, now faces competition from Nice, who are set on making a decisive move. Haidara's contract with Leipzig runs until June 30, 2026, and Transfermarkt currently estimates his market value at €16.00m.
