Moffi, after failing to convince at FC Porto, now in talks with Hamburg | OneFootball

Nice accepted, this Wednesday, an offer from Hamburg for Terem Moffi, the 27-year-old Nigerian striker, according to the newspaper Nice-Matin. The player spent the last six months of last season on loan at FC Porto, but failed to establish himself. For the transfer to go through, an agreement with the German club still needs to be reached.

Moffi’s departure would allow Nice to get one of the squad’s highest salaries off the books, even though the striker is under contract until 2027. Cutting the wage bill would help the French club focus its efforts on signing Elye Wahi from Frankfurt, who has been identified as the top priority. Even so, talks over a loan deal involving costs are still making no significant progress.

Hamburg had already been showing interest in the player for several weeks, but the deal will only be completed once Moffi agrees the terms of his contract with the Bundesliga club.

Ineos, Nice’s owner, had initially wanted to recoup an amount close to the €8 million included in the purchase option agreed with FC Porto last winter. However, faced with the lack of other interested parties, it ultimately accepted a lower offer.
