L’Équipe understands that Badredine Bouanani (19) has agreed to extend his contract at OGC Nice and the officialisation is expected early next week.
Bouanani started in Le Gym’s 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad in the UEFA Europa League in late September, a sign of the Algeria international’s growing stature at the club. He has already made nine appearances for Nice this season, including four starts. That comes after a loan spell at FC Lorient last season, during which he made 11 appearances, scoring once.
The winger has over two years remaining on his deal, however, Les Aiglons have been looking to extend his contract for a further two years, which would tie him to the club until 2029. L’Équipe had previously reported that talks between the player and the club were advancing positively. The deal now looks to have been sealed and it will be confirmed at the start of next week.
