Evann Guessand is clearly not thrilled by the prospect of signing for Neom SC in Saudi Arabia. As a result, his departure from OGC Nice is becoming more complicated.

The Ivorian striker Evann Guessand is not expected to join the Saudi club Neom this summer. On Friday, Nice-Matin confirmed this trend, explaining that it was the player himself who cooled off negotiations. This decision has reportedly frustrated the Nice management.

The French club's executives were already envisioning a €30 million sale and had even started discussions about bringing in Mostafa Mohamed (Nantes), a player suggested by intermediaries involved in the deal that would have sent Guessand to the Gulf. According to the regional daily, this situation has sparked tense discussions between the Nice management and the Ivorian international's camp.

Evann Guessand would prefer a move to Germany or England, where Crystal Palace have shown interest.
