Kail Boudache’s contract talks with OGC Nice stalling

There haven’t been many bright sparks in OGC Nice’s season, but Kail Boudache (19) is certainly one of them. However, talks over a contract for the academy product are stalling, as per a report from Nice-Matin.

The France youth international has come through the ranks at Nice and was given his chance in the first team in the wake of Claude Puel’s arrival at the club in December. Since Puel replaced Franck Haise in the dugout, Boudache has gone on to make 12 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice in that time. Only two of those appearances have come as starts, however, Boudache is growing in stature and looks to be a key part in what is currently an uncertain future at Nice, given the moving parts in the executive roles. 

However, he has yet to sign his first professional contract. Talks between the player and the club are stalling, Nice-Matin understands, because Boudache’s entourage are seen as too greedy. However, new talks are planned and there is still hope of an agreement being reached.
