尼斯大甩卖：拉博德、博加离队，盖桑标价4000万，布乌卡2000万待价而沽

The Great Nice Clearout

Let’s cut to the chase: Olympique de Nice is selling off its star assets like it’s clearing out a garage before moving cross-country. According to L’Équipe, this isn’t just pruning—it’s an entire squad overhaul driven by INEOS’ cost-control mandate.

You’ve got high-earning veterans on the exit ramp, young talent rising fast, and transfer rumors flying faster than an overcooked Parisian croissant in July heat.

Who’s Leaving—and Why?

First up: Gaëtan Lacroix, the striker whose €32K monthly salary spikes to €35K if they qualify for Champions League football—still not enough to keep him in France. Gulf clubs have already shown interest; one even reached out in January. But here’s the twist: he’s still unsigned, still valued at nearly €6M per year. That’s wealth redistribution via international mobility.

Then there’s Jérémy Boga, once a bright spark on the left wing. Two seasons in Toulouse and now… nowhere to play. His minutes dwindled after winter—no surprises there when you’re earning €22.5K/month and aren’t playing much.

But these aren’t just random dismissals—they’re strategic cuts aimed at freeing up cap space and future flexibility.

The Big Ticket Targets: Gassan & Boukka

Now we get to the real fireworks: Evan Gassan (€40M valuation), a CoT-style strike weapon with pace and precision under pressure—exactly what English or German clubs love right now.

He hasn’t responded yet to Fenerbahçe’s initial approach—but that doesn’t mean they’re backing off. In fact, multiple suitors are circling like vultures around fresh meat after summer training camp ends.

And then there’s Marcin Boukka, the Polish goalkeeper whose contract expires next year—after refusing an extension, he’s officially on sale despite reportedly disliking Turkish football culture.

Galatasaray has been persistent—offering €20M for his services—but even with potential UCL access? He still seems unimpressed. Is it ego? Culture shock? Or just good old-fashioned market logic?

What This Really Means for Nice

This isn’t about losing players—it’s about transforming identity post-INEOS ownership. They’ve already brought in 19-year-old sensation Gabi Bernardot and are pushing 16-year-old Gibriil Coulibaly straight into rotation.

Younger = cheaper = sustainable long-term model vs chasing short-term glory with aging stars pulling big paychecks but producing minimal returns.

It reminds me of how NBA teams used to draft-and-develop instead of signing free agents every offseason—a lesson lost on too many European clubs… until now?

Final Thought: Is This Smart or Just Desperation?

I’ll give them credit—the numbers make sense from a financial standpoint. But let me ask you something: If your best player earns more than your manager—and can walk away without penalty—is that really smart team-building? Or is it just modern-day austerity disguised as strategy? Let me know below—I want your take.
