Transfer Watch

Nice, the French club, are watching the situation of Moroccan Amir Richardson at Fiorentina as the winter transfer window approaches.

Richardson joined Fiorentina in the summer of 2024, and his contract with the Viola runs until June 30, 2029.

Le360 reported that the 23-year-old has struggled for minutes, appearing in four matches this season across all competitions—two in Serie A and two in the Europa Conference League.

With limited time under coach Paolo Vanoli, the Moroccan Olympic bronze medalist from Paris 2024 is weighing a move away from the Italian club.

European clubs are taking note, including Nice, who have shown strong interest in signing Richardson.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano tweeted that Nice had submitted an offer to sign him.

Romano added that Richardson features on a short list for January, and Nice has already signaled its intent.

The 23-year-old, currently valued at around seven million euros, remains a priority target for English and Spanish clubs such as Sunderland and Sevilla.

Richardson is seeking more playing time to raise his hopes of featuring for Morocco at the 2026 World Cup.
