Gauthier Hein: Metz and Nice in advanced negotiations | OneFootball

Metz are in advanced negotiations with Nice over Gauthier Hein, with the midfielder appearing to edge towards a departure.

On Saturday he played only the final third of Metz’s 1-3 friendly defeat to Kaiserslautern and did not warm up with the starters. According to L'Équipe, that pattern has intensified speculation over his future. He has been in good form throughout pre-season.

Nice have pursued the 29-year-old attacking midfielder for months. The player is inclined to join the Aiglons and has given his approval in principle, with talks progressing.

The clubs still need to find a full agreement before any move can happen. No further details have been disclosed.

An accord could now follow swiftly.
