Florian Maurice, the sporting director of OGC Nice, stated on Ligue 1+ that the club has made a contract extension offer to Jonathan Clauss, a 33-year-old French right-back who is in conflict with the club and will be out of contract at the end of the season. Maurice said that they are looking for solutions, acknowledging it is a delicate situation for both Jonathan and the club. He added that they are in discussion with his agents to find solutions, have made a contract extension offer with their current means, and that the idea is for him to return because he is a player they need until at least the end of the season, as he is under contract until then at a minimum. The French international has 14 caps and 2 goals for his country, and has recorded 1 goal and 2 assists in 8 Ligue 1 appearances this season. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €5.00m, and clubs including Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus have been linked with a move for the player.
