The 32-year-old is under contract with Nice until 2026, but his club have an option to extend to 2027.

His price tag is between €7m and €10m, but he’s not the only right-back on Juventus’ agenda, as the Bianconeri are also monitoring Silvan Widmer (Mainz, formerly of Udinese), Dodò (Fiorentina), and Marco Palestra (Atalanta).
