Mercato Nice: Antoine Mendy sparks transfer buzz as club seeks cash

At OGC Nice’s training ground, 22‑year‑old Antoine Mendy, who started in the African Cup of Nations final, has become the centre of transfer speculation as the club, needing cash this summer, signals openness to offers. The buzz has already drawn interest from several suitors.

Mendy was the Titulaire in the most recent African Cup of Nations (CAN) final, a performance that raised his profile on the continental stage. His display in that match highlighted his defensive capabilities.

The Mercato buzz around Mendy has intensified, with several European clubs reportedly monitoring his situation. Agents say his age and recent exposure make him an attractive prospect.

OGC Nice, confronting a need for liquidity this summer, has signalled willingness to negotiate a transfer. The club has officially opened the door to potential offers for the midfielder.
