The summer transfer window is heating up as Ligue 2 outfit FC Metz and Ligue 1 side OGC Nice have entered advanced negotiations regarding the transfer of midfielder Gauthier Hein. The playmaker is highly expected to make a move back to the top flight in the coming days.
Pre-Season Clues Point to Imminent Departure
Speculation surrounding Gauthier Hein’s future intensified on Saturday during Metz's friendly encounter against German club Kaiserslautern.
