CM: OGC Nice serious about signing Milan full-back on a permanent deal

Bologna face serious competition in their bid to land Fode Ballo-Toure as OGC Nice in France are keen on signing him, according to a report.

According to Calciomercato.com, Ballo-Toure was first approached by Bologna but he is now in the sights of Nice who are very keen on signing him.

The Rossoblu have not yet presented an official offer but want to sign the former Monaco on loan with an option to buy, while the Ligue 1 side are aiming for a permanent deal.

Milan are therefore waiting for an offer, after the contacts between the player’s agent and Nice, hoping to net around €4m which would actually generate a capital gain in the accounts.

In terms of his replacement, Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada will not go for Luca Pellegrini after yesterday’s meeting with his entourage, nor to Andrea Cambiaso because Juventus want €25m for him.

However, it is likely that the management will focus on an Italian profile, also because of the issue linked to the Champions League squad lists.
