Amir Richardson, a 23-year-old Moroccan international midfielder for Fiorentina, is expected to depart in January. Several European clubs have recently shown interest, including Strasbourg, Levante, Valencia, and Cologne. Nice is the most insistent club at this time and aims to sign the central midfielder on a loan without an option to buy. Richardson, whose contract is valid until June 2029, has stated that a move to Nice is his clear priority, as he previously spent time in the club's academy. He has 9 caps for Morocco and has made 2 appearances in Serie A during the 2025/26 season. In January 2025, Fiorentina's asking price was reportedly around €10 million. This figure is close to the €9.0 million plus bonuses that Fiorentina paid to acquire him from Reims in August 2024. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €4.50m.
