OGC Nice considered several options for a new striker, and Bamba Dieng was among them. Bamba Dieng has been a free agent since his contract with Lorient ended in June. L'Equipe reported that Ineos, the shareholder of OGC Nice, opposed the signing of Bamba Dieng.

Sacha Tavolieri has stated that OGC Nice is not expected to proceed with a transfer for Bamba Dieng due to concerns over his recent injuries. The club fears the injuries negatively affect his performances.

OGC Nice have reactivated their interest in striker Bamba Dieng. Dieng is a free agent following his departure from FC Lorient, and his former coach in Brittany, Olivier Pantaloni, is open to his arrival.

Nice are among several clubs monitoring Bamba Dieng's situation, with the 26-year-old Senegal international now a free agent after his departure from FC Lorient. Alongside Nice, Spanish clubs Valencia, Real Betis, and Sevilla are also considering formalising their interest in the coming weeks. Dieng has already received an attractive proposal from Hull City and what would have been a club-record contract offer from Wrexham. Despite these offers and enquiries from Al-Shabab in the Saudi Pro League and Turkish side Amedspor, the most probable outcome is that the forward will either stay in France or move to Spain. He has 24 caps and 2 goals for Senegal. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €15.00m.
