OGC Nice has placed Darlin Yongwa, 25, on its shortlist. The Cameroonian left-back will become a free agent on July 1 after four seasons at FC Lorient. The potential arrival of Olivier Pantaloni as Nice's new coach could be a favorable factor, as he previously managed Yongwa for two seasons. While Beşiktaş in Turkey is also reportedly interested, that option is considered to be becoming less likely. Transfermarkt values the player at 5 million euros, and according to sources, his entourage considers remaining in Ligue 1 to be the most probable outcome. The defender has earned 8 caps for Cameroon, scoring one goal. In the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season, he made 23 appearances, providing one assist. His last transfer was in July 2022, when he moved from Niort to Lorient for a fee of €1.5 million.
