Rares Ilie, a 21-year-old Romanian player under contract until 2027, is not being retained by Nice due to a lack of playing time. There were previous attempts to transfer him last summer, with interest from clubs including Annecy in Ligue 2, Greece, and Poland. However, he failed to agree with any of the suitors. Now, the club is open to transferring him if he can agree with a potential club.
