The agency representing the interests of Lokomotiv midfielder Alexis Beck-Beck has confirmed that Nice head coach Lucien Favre is interested in inviting the player to the team in the summer transfer window.

The media reported that the French had already held preliminary negotiations with representatives of the midfielder, but had not yet made an official offer to Lokomotiv.

– Interest from Nice is real, but it is not yet possible to say whether a deal is possible or not. We can only say that Nice and personally Lucien Favre want Beka-Bek, – quotes the words of the RB Sport agency.

21-year-old Beka-Beka played in 28 matches for Lokomotiv in all competitions and provided four assists. His contract with the club runs until 2026.

Earlier, information appeared about interest in another Lokomotiv player – 25-year-old defensive midfielder Dmitry Barinov from Valencia.

– Why not? The main player of one of the leading teams in Russia, still quite young by football standards. Barinov is a typical destroyer, he works very well in his zone, tenacious when playing one on one. And the head coach of Valencia, Gennaro Gattuso, was such a player himself. Therefore, he could pay attention to the 25-year-old midfielder, – said legalbet former midfielder of Khikhon Sporting Igor Ledyakhov.
