According to Foot Mercato, Nice have already agreed personal terms with Moffi, and are set to agree to a deal with Lorient

Les Merlus are resigned to losing their star striker, but only if they receive an offer that matches their valuation.

Moffi has been a key player for Lorient this season, leading the scoring chart. The Nigerian international took his Ligue 1 tally to 12 goals after scoring in Lorient’s 3-1 loss to Olympique Marseille on Saturday night.

 Only Kylian Mbappe (13) has scored more goals than the Super Eagles star in the French top flight this season. 

Moffi joined Lorient from Belgian side Kortjik for €8 million in October 2020, signing a four-year contract. The Super Eagles star still has 18 months left on his contract with the club.
