Nice Target Teenage Attacker Molebe to Bolster Tactical Setup
The 18-year-old forward, who remains under contract with Olympique Lyonnais until 2029, has caught the attention of Les Aiglons following an impressive six-month loan spell in Ligue 2 with Montpellier. The Hérault outfit actively sought to extend his stay, but financial constraints blocked a prolonged agreement.
Nice scouts have closely monitored the French prodigy for several months, earmarking his dynamic profile as an ideal addition to their attacking frontline. However, senior club officials are urging caution, as the hierarchy prioritises structural outgoings before finalizing incoming signings.

To facilitate the financial aspects of the deal, the Riviera club must first secure high-profile departures for current attackers Terem Moffi and Kevin Carlos. Both forwards have been deemed surplus to requirements and are expected to be sold to generate necessary transfer capital.
Adding a versatile talent like Molebe fits perfectly into Nice's long-term strategy of developing youth while maintaining competitiveness in European qualification spots. If the club successfully offloads their fringe players, negotiations with Lyon for the youngster could accelerate rapidly.
