Fenerbahce’s Attila Szalai on Nice’s radar: he wants Francesco Farioli

In search of a central defender, French club Nice have been following Fenerbahçe’s Hungarian national player Attila Szalai (25) for a while.

According to news from the important French newspaper Le’quipe; Likeable defender Dante, 39, is older, Jean-Clair Todibo is likely to leave, Mattia Viti has yet to prove his worth, and Youssouf Ndayishimiye is originally a midfielder.

That is why Nice need a central defender and have been following Fenerbahçe’s Hungarian national player Attila Szalai (25) for a few weeks.

Szalai (35 games, 1 goal), who stands out for his great height (1.92 m) and indispensable for the Hungarian team, was communicated to the Nice management by the new Nice coach, Francesco Farioli. Farioli spent the last three seasons in the Turkish Super League.

Left-footed, Szalai can play on the left axis of a defense with two or three center backs and can replace Dante, for example. Although Nice management confirmed that they are following the player, they stated that Szalai’s transfer to Nice, which is about to reach an agreement with Union Berlin, is not on the agenda at the moment.
