Nice has targeted six players, including Johann Lepenant, as a solution after Laurent Abergel sustained a serious knee injury.

OGC Nice is considering Johann Lepenant, who is not retained by his club Nantes. The potential acquisition of Johann Lepenant currently appears to be the easiest to complete.

OGC Nice is actively seeking a new midfielder following a serious cruciate ligament injury to Laurent Abergel and, according to L'Equipe, has started discussions with FC Nantes for a loan of 23-year-old French player Johann Lepenant. Lepenant's contract with Nantes runs until 2029. Lorient and Toulouse have also been linked with the midfielder.
