OGC Nice has officially confirmed the departure of Brazilian defender Robson Bambu, solidifying his loan move with an option to purchase to Portuguese outfit Arouca for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
The announcement follows recent reports revealing the strategic decision by OGC Nice to send Bambu to Arouca, marking a pivotal moment in the player’s career.
After a return from Brazil this winter, where he gained experience with Corinthians and Vasco da Gama, the 26-year-old defender is set to embark on a new chapter in Portuguese football.
Since his arrival at the Riviera club in 2020, Bambu has donned the Nice jersey for 24 matches. This season, his notable appearances include a standout performance against Auxerre in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France.
However, the defender has faced disappointments during his tenure with OGC Nice, prompting the decision to facilitate a move to Arouca.
Arouca, currently positioned as the 9th team in the Portuguese championship, provides Bambu with an opportunity for a fresh start and a chance to rediscover his form.
The loan agreement with an option to purchase underscores the strategic approach taken by both clubs to align the player’s development with their respective objectives.
As Robson Bambu embarks on his journey with Arouca, football enthusiasts will be watching closely to see how this new chapter unfolds, and whether it serves as a catalyst for the resurgence of the talented Brazilian defender.
