Moffi joins Nice for a record €30 million deal

Lorient have accepted a €30 million bid for Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi to join Ligue 1 club OGC Nice.

According to French news outlet Footmercato, the agreed deal will bring a fee of €25 million with a further €5 in add-ons.

Nice had made several offers for the Nigerian that were rejected by Lorient before their final agreement was reached.

Lorient wanted Moffi to join Olympique Marseille after reaching their appreciation for the player, but the Nigeria international pushed for a move to the Riviera club.

Moffi, 23, will sign a contract for four and a half years after completing his medical.

Moffi joined Lorient for €8 million in October 2020 from Belgian Pro League team, KV Kortrijk.

He has scored 12 goals in 19 league appearances for Lorient so far this season
