OGC Nice and Paris FC are set prepared to go head-to-head in the race for the acquisition of Mali international Amadou Haidara in the current transfer window.
The 27-year-old midfielder, who plies his trade for German outfit RB Leipzig has emerged as a transfer target for several clubs including Nice and Paris FC.
Haidara is a priority target for Paris FC, who are poised to make a meaningful impact in the upcoming 2025/26 French top-flight after a 46-year absence.
Paris FC have been looking for an experienced presence in their midfield, with Haidara emerging as the perfect player to solidify their team.
The newly promoted Ligue 1 side originally had looked at Lille OSC’s captain Benjamin André. However, he eventually turned the club down after agreeing to a contract extension with Les Dogues.
Despite Paris FC and Leipzig being linked by Red Bull, with the company having a share of control in each club’s ownership (as minority owners in the case of the Ligue 1 side), Haidara could end up at Nice, as Franck Haise’s side look to add the midfielder to their squad, following Morgan Sanson’s injury.
The Mali international’s current contract with Leipzig is expected to elapse in the summer of 2026.
