Ligue 1 club Nice wants to sign Davinson Sanchez from Tottenham before the transfer window closes.
The Daily Mail report that the French outfit has made an inquiry about the Colombia international, who has slipped down Antonio Conte’s pecking order.
The report also says that despite his lack of game time, Sanchez does not want to leave the Spurs before the deadline on Tuesday.
The £42 million man seemingly wants to stay and fight for his place, or at the very least, does not want to be hurried into a mid-season move.
Nice want to sign Sanchez before the deadline
Nice is owned by Britain’s richest man, Jim Ratcliffe, who has also been linked with purchasing Manchester United from the Glazers.
He has already brought a host of players with Premier League experience in and he wants Sanchez to be the next one through the door.
Nice already have Kasper Schmeichel, Ross Barkley, Morgan Schneiderlin, Joe Bryan, Aaron Ramsey, and Nicolas Pepe in their ranks.
Spurs still require upgrades at the heart of their defense, but it appears that they are prioritizing other matters during the current transfer window.
Selling Sanchez may help free up roster space and funds to sign an elite option, but a better-quality player will most likely be available in the summer.
It remains to be seen whether Sanchez’s mind can be changed about leaving Tottenham between now and Tuesday, and he could get an FA Cup runout this weekend against Preston in the fourth round.
