“OGC Nice is pleased to announce the extension of Melvin Bard until 2028“. The French club thus announces the renewal of the left back, thus rejecting the advances of the top clubs, who also tried to buy him in the summer. In the past he had also been followed by Napoli and Manchester United, below is the full press release:
“Bard will now be tied to the Club until 2028. Having arrived in the County in the summer of 2021, Melvin Bard (23 years old) will remain for three full seasons in red and black. Trained in Lyon, Melvin has played 117 games with Palestra, scoring 3 goals and 4 assists.
A locker room man with an exemplary mentality, the left-back, suspended at Auxerre but starting against Toulouse and Angers, is enjoying this new Rossoneri horizon: ‘I am deeply attached to OGC Nice. Even if there has never been a debate in my head, I am happy to see that the club has confidence in me through this extension and that we are planning together for the long term. We have experimented a lot and will continue to experiment a lot. I hope I can help OGC Nice do well and I hope we can win a title together, for the club and for our fans.'”
