Portuguese giants Porto and Turkish side Besiktas are both monitoring the situation of Nigerian striker Terem Moffi, whose future at OGC Nice is increasingly uncertain, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The 26-year-old forward is reportedly seeking to terminate his contract following tensions with supporters, opening the door for potential moves elsewhere.
Porto are considering signing him on loan, with coach Francesco Farioli, familiar with the striker from their time on the Côte d’Azur, reportedly leading the push.
Moffi is among Porto’s attacking targets alongside Fabio Silva, and his market value is estimated at €10m.
“Like Fábio Silva, Terem Moffi (26 years old) is on FC Porto’s list of potential recruits for the striker position. The forward has played 786 minutes this season with Nice for just 3 goals,” Antena1 RTP reported.
Meanwhile, Besiktas, preparing to part ways with Tammy Abraham, have also previously shown interest in the Nigerian forward.
Sabah reported that the Turkish club is monitoring Moffi’s situation closely, though no formal approach has been made, and the Black-Whites are yet to take a definitive stance on the potential signing.
Moffi has enjoyed a productive career across Europe, previously featuring for Kortjik, Riteriai, Kauno Zalgiris, Lorient, and now Nice.
In 213 appearances, he has scored 86 goals and provided 12 assists. With 19 caps and 4 goals for Nigeria, he remains a sought-after talent capable of bolstering either Porto’s or Besiktas’ attacking options.
Since joining Nice from Lorient for €22.5m in the 2023/24 season, he has endured a difficult spell in Ligue 1.
Incidents during the matchday 14 of the ongoing campaign, when Nice lost 3–1 to Lorient, saw the team bus blocked and players, including Moffi and Jeremie Boga, physically and verbally attacked by frustrated fans.
The French Football Players Association publicly supported both players following the events.
