Nice close on M’Baye Niang

AC Milan forward M’Baye Niang is expected to join Nice in the summer transfer window, according to Tuttosport.

The 23-year-old has failed to impress during the loan spell with Torino, who have the obligation to buy him outright for €20 million.

But, considering that Granata want to get rid of the Frenchman, his agent Mino Raiola is trying to find him a new club.

With his other client Mario Balotelli almost certain to leave Nice at the end of the season, Raiola will offer les Aiglons a chance to sign Niang.

The talented forward had enjoyed successful spells in France with Caen and Montpellier, and his agent believes the youngster will have a good chance of kick-starting his career at Allianz Riviera.
