Marseille rival OGC Nice’s Grégory Lorenzi interest
Marseille rival OGC Nice’s Grégory Lorenzi interest Stade Brestois are set to lose their sporting director, Grégory Lorenzi, this summer. He has been at the club for 10 years, however, he is highly coveted. Nice-Matin and Foot Mercato reported earlier this week that the sporting director had reached an agreement to become the new sporting director at OGC Nice.
However, before the deal is completed, Le Gym must confirm their place in Ligue 1 for next season and also agree the terms of Florian Maurice’s departure. Nice looked to have beaten Premier League competition, in the form of Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, to his signature. However, Mohamed Toubache-Ter understands that it may not yet be a done deal.
He reports that Lorenzi has yet to sign with Nice. The club’s vague ownership situation, given INEOS’ ongoing attempts to sell, could also complicate matters. All the while, Olympique de Marseille, who are in the market for a replacement for Medhi Benatia, are looking to rival Le Gym’s interest.
