Alidu Seidu loan to Nice nearing after Ineos approval

Nice have received approval from their owner, Ineos, to progress a deal for Rennes defender Alidu Seidu, with a loan including an option to buy under discussion.

According to L'Équipe, Seidu, 26, is open to the move and talks now focus on how his wages would be covered and the terms of the option.

Nice’s sporting hierarchy prioritised Seidu following Antoine Mendy’s injury.

Seidu is currently in Austria with Stade Rennais for Wednesday’s Europa League match away to Sturm Graz, scheduled for 21:00.

The likelihood of the former Clermont defender arriving on the Côte d’Azur is considered very high, although any move still depends on final agreement between the clubs.
