Manchester City defender Juma Bah is set to join OGC Nice on a loan deal, with a verbal agreement reportedly in place, according to Fabrizio Romano. The player had been a target for both OGC Nice and Olympique Lyon, but has opted to join the French club.
Bah, who plays as a defender, joined Manchester City in January 2025, initially being loaned to RC Lens. Prior to his move to Manchester City, he was under contract with Real Valladolid, from where he transferred to RC Lens. The defender’s style of play and previous performances at RC Lens may have influenced OGC Nice’s decision to pursue him.
OGC Nice’s successful bid for Bah’s signature comes after a period of negotiation, with the player’s preferred destination being the French club. The loan move is expected to provide Bah with further playing opportunities.
