Nice are moving for Manchester United midfielder Amad Diallo.
OGCN coach Lucien Favre has requested a new winger signing be made this month.
RMC says direct contact has been made between Nice and Amad about a move to France.
United are reluctant to sell Amad and instead would favour a loan - unlike Nice which want to buy him outright.
On a trip to Manchester, David Brailsford, director of sport at INEOS, met with the player about a move to Nice this month.
