OGC Nice
Defensively cautious, structured 4-3-3. Low block under Puel. Struggling to create from open play — 6-match losing run the worst sequence in the league.
INEOS ownership (Jim Ratcliffe) has turned Nice into a disaster story. Sold Wahi (best striker) mid-season to Eintracht Frankfurt. Three managers (Haise → Puel). Dante (41!) still anchoring the defence as captain. 15th place and 6 consecutive losses represents a catastrophic season for a club with ambitious targets. Need a major striker, replace Dante finally, and rebuild squad confidence.
Sold Wahi mid-season — no reliable striker; 32 goals conceded but only 32 scored too; attack needs top striker
Dante (41) needs replacing — iconic but can't last forever; younger CB partner needed
Arthur Avom (21, €9m) expiring — best young midfielder, renewal critical
