OGC Nice Hub
OGC Nice could lose one of its most important players this summer, Hicham Boudaoui. The Algerian midfielder is being courted by Aston Villa, who are looking to strengthen their midfield before the restart.
Who is Hicham Boudaoui?
Hicham Boudaoui is a 26-year-old Algerian midfielder, under contract with OGC Nice until June 2027. He played 32 games in all competitions last season, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
Why Aston Villa?
Aston Villa are looking to strengthen their midfield before the restart, and Boudaoui's profile perfectly matches the expectations of the English staff. His high-level experience and versatility would particularly appeal to the Birmingham directors.
What impact for OGC Nice?
A departure from Boudaoui would represent a real challenge for OGC Nice, who would then have to find a replacement capable of bringing the same balance to the midfield. The next few weeks are therefore crucial in this dossier.
