The arrival of Jim Ratcliffe at the head of OGC Nice should push several Ligue 1 clubs to be even more competitive and expensive in the transfer window.
This time it's the right one. On Monday, Ineos finalized the acquisition of OGC Nice at the end of a series of several months. The club Riviera will now begin its transfer window, less than a week from the closing of the transfer market!

How do other clubs in Ligue 1 see the arrival of billionaire Jim Ratlcliffe in the panorama of the championship of France? At ASSE, the question was put to Bernard Caïazzo, who praises such a presence in France. The Co-President of the Greens sees a snowball effect on other French clubs, which will be pulled up by such competition.
"To see an Englishman investing in France and not at home, in England, the country of football and his TV rights to three billion euros, is a very good thing, Caïazzo convinces himself in the columns of L'Équipe. In France, if Nice is worth 100 M €, with a private workforce of Allan Sain-Maximin, how much is the ASSE, which has never lost money for 9 years and which ranks 4th on the average of the last 7 years? It should not be said that this will remove a European place to a club like ASSE and impoverish our football. On the contrary, it pushes us to invest. "
