The GOC Nice is entering a new era with a notable mercato activity, in terms of rebuilding itself after a difficult season marked by a qualification for the dams of the Champions League. The team’s preparation began on June 23, with intense physical tests, foreshadowing a busy schedule. The club is actively involved in the preparation of the third preliminary round of the Champions League, whose draw will take place on 21 July, with the return match scheduled for 12 August. This early recovery reflects the club’s ambition to prepare for the next season.
The reinforcements of the Nice GOC are already confirmed. The arrival of Gabin Bernaudeau, a 20-year-old offensive youth, is a first step in strengthening the workforce. Juma Bah, an experienced defense player, joined the club to compensate for recurrent injuries in this area. Yehvann Diouf, Senegalese goaltender, arrived after the relegation of his former club in Ligue 2, and his recruitment was perceived as compensation for the probable departure of Marcin Bułka, whose contract expired in a year and for which an agreement with a Saudi club was envisaged.
In parallel with these arrivals, the GOC Nice is preparing to carry out a large summer household. Mattia Vititi’s loan to Fiorentina has been confirmed, and players whose contracts extend until 2026, as well as those returning from loans, will not be retained. Evan N’Golo’s future remains uncertain, despite the interest of several European clubs, but the player is not in a hurry to make a decision. These movements reflect a desire to renew the workforce and a careful preparation for the new season, with a view to maintaining the club’s competitiveness.
