Terem Moffi Considers Exit from Nice Following Fan Incident
Super Eagles forward Terem Moffi is reportedly contemplating a move away from OGC Nice after experiencing harassment and physical assault from the club’s supporters, according to Soccernet.ng.
Earlier this week, Moffi and teammate Jérémie Boga were subjected to an attack by disgruntled fans amid Nice’s ongoing six-match winless run. The players were reportedly assaulted and spat upon at the club’s training ground, forcing them to seek medical attention and subsequently receive time off to recover.
In response, OGC Nice issued a formal statement condemning the violent behavior of their supporters. Despite this, Moffi appears to be exploring options to leave the club.
According to Foot01, French sides Nantes and Paris FC have expressed interest in acquiring the 26-year-old striker.

Both clubs are eager to strengthen their squads as they aim to secure their Ligue 1 status, and Moffi’s experience could be a valuable addition.
Having spent five years competing in France’s top flight, the Nigerian international brings considerable Ligue 1 experience to the table.
Assessing the Likelihood of Moffi’s Departure from Nice
At present, a transfer away from Nice seems uncertain. The clubs linked with Moffi, Nantes and Paris FC, are comparatively modest in stature.
Transfermarkt currently values Moffi at approximately €15 million, with nearly two years remaining on his contract. Nice is expected to demand a premium fee, which may be beyond the financial reach of Nantes and Paris FC.
Nonetheless, a loan arrangement could be a feasible alternative this summer, especially considering Moffi’s form has been inconsistent since his return from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury earlier this year.
