Super Eagles striker, Terem Moffi, is seeking to terminate his contract with French club OGC Nice.
Recall that the 26-year-old was assaulted by Nice fans in November 2024 following the club’s 3-1 defeat to Lorient.
According to Truibuna, Moffi and his teammate, Jeremie Boga were punched, kicked and spat on, with some of the blows said to be to their genitals. They also had racist slurs thrown their way – Moffi played 90 minutes in the game, while Boga came off the bench.
Moffi has been on sick leave for six weeks following the incident.
The Nigerian has filed a complaint with the Professional Football League’s legal committee seeking the termination of his contract.
According to a French news outlet, L’Equipe , his lawyers have validated the request, referencing articles 51 and 265 of the professional football charter.
The PFL is expected to review the case on Thursday.
The possibility of contract termination is being examined, and the situation could also result in further negotiations, including a potential loan exit.
Moffi has a contract with Nice until June 2027.
