GOC Nice is currently in the middle of negotiations about the potential departure of Evans Guessa, an attacker who wants to advance in his career. The attacker has a ticket and would theoretically be on the way to leaving the club, attracting the interest of the Saudi club of NeoM, which would have offered 30 million euros. Although the Nice club wants to conclude this transaction quickly so that it can identify a replacement, Guessa hesitates to join Saudi Arabia and awaits offers from Premier League or Bundesliga clubs. Crystal Palace also showed an interest in the player, but the situation remains blocked. At the same time, the club welcomed Zoumana Diallo, a young attacker from Strasbourg, who will initially join the Elite group with the aim of joining the professional team.

OGC Nice prepares to face the Stade de Reims on 31st day of Ligue 1, in a context of race to Europe. The team is currently in 6th place, three days away from the end of the season, with only two points behind the podium. Nice players are motivated to capitalize on their recent victory against the leader and continue their positive series, with the goal of qualifying for the Champions League. The match against Reims is crucial to maintain their European ambition, especially with a favourable schedule that sees them face less well-ranked opponents.

However, the Nice team has to face significant absences. Mohamed Abdelmone, Youssouf Ndai and Mohamed Abdellah are on a package for the rest of the season due to cross ligaments injuries. On the other hand, Dante could return, after a period of arrest, which would be a boost to the defence. On the side of Reims, the team is fighting for its retention in Ligue 1 and a victory over the French Riviera would be decisive. The likely composition of the two teams for the match was announced, with key players such as Gaëtan Laborde for Nice and Diouf for Reims.
