Our friend Nicolas Vilas of Eurosport understands that OGC Nice and Rennes have contacted the representatives of Porto centre back Abdoulaye Ba.
The giant centre back (1.97m) will only be allowed to leave Porto if Eliaquim Mangala stays and is not lured to Manchester City as L’Equipe suggested this morning.
In the recent days Aston Villa and Liverpool have also got in contact with Porto regarding Ba’s availability if we are to believe Eurosport’s reports.
OGC Nice and Rennes both need a centre back and are presently working on a loan deal for the player who is not receiving enough gametime at Porto presently.
