Santi Aouna is reporting that Nice manager Lucien Favre is interested in Manchester City target Noah Okafor (22), who could cost as much as €40m.
Florian Plettenberg has disclosed Manchester City’s interest in the Swiss winger. Currently at Red Bull Salzburg, Okafor, who has 10 goals in 22 appearances in all competitions this season is drawing interest from abroad. Whilst his immediate focus is on having a strong World Cup in Switzerland, he could soon find himself on the move.
The Austrian club reportedly value Okafor between €35-40m. Aouna has now revealed that Favre is an admirer of the player. The journalist has said that the Swiss manager, “really appreciates his profile.” Aouna also added that due to the wealth of the club’s INEOS owners, OGC Nice are financially capable of financing a deal.
It is unclear whether Okafor is a target of the club or a personal target for Favre. According to Nice-Matin, the Swiss manager’s job at the Allianz Riviera is insecure, and a decision on his future is expected soon.
