Hamburg eyes Nigerian striker Moffi as Nice confirms departure interest

Bundesliga side Hamburg have been linked with OGC Nice striker Terem Moffi, DAILY POST reports on August 5, 2026. The 27‑year‑old Nigeria international returned to Nice after spending the second half of last season on loan with Portuguese champions FC Porto. Nice president Maurice Cohen confirmed that Moffi is on the list of players the club wishes to sell this summer, and he has since been dropped from the first‑team squad, though he continues to train with the elite group.

Moffi’s potential move matters because he is a regular Super Eagles attacker, and a transfer to a Bundesliga club could boost his visibility and market value, while also influencing Nigeria’s attacking options ahead of upcoming qualifiers. Interest from Turkish Super Lig giants Beşiktaş shows multiple suitors are monitoring his situation.

Readers should watch for official statements from Nice or Hamburg, as the summer transfer window typically closes at the end of August. If Moffi moves, it could signal a trend of Nigerian players seeking opportunities in Europe’s top leagues, and fans may want to consider how his absence or presence at Nice affects the team’s Ligue 1 campaign.
