OGC Nice striker Terem Moffi is attracting serious interest from FC Porto and Besiktas as he pushes for a move away from the Ligue 1 club, TalkTalk Nigeria reports.

The Super Eagles forward has been eager to leave Nice following a troubling incident last November, when he and Ivory Coast international Jérémie Boga were reportedly assaulted by sections of the club’s supporters. Since then, Moffi has not featured for the French side, effectively putting his Nice career on pause.

The 26-year-old has now requested a termination of his contract, a move that would allow him to join another club as a free agent before the end of the transfer window.

Transfer Interest Builds

Turkish giants Besiktas are keen on Moffi as a replacement for Tammy Abraham, who is closing in on a move to Aston Villa. Meanwhile, FC Porto are looking to bolster their attacking options and see the Nigerian as a proven striker capable of adding goals and physical presence to their frontline.

Despite limited game time this season, Moffi has still managed to score two goals in 10 league appearances for Nice, underlining his efficiency when given opportunities.

Opinion: A Fresh Start Could Revive Moffi’s Career

This feels like a situation where a clean break is best for all parties. The events surrounding the fan assault clearly affected Moffi’s relationship with the club, and remaining in such an environment rarely brings out the best in any player.

A move to Porto could offer him Champions League exposure and tactical discipline, while Besiktas would provide a more emotional, high-energy league where his physical style and direct approach could truly shine.

At 26, Moffi is entering his prime. What he needs now is stability, trust, and a supportive fanbase—not tension and uncertainty. If either Porto or Besiktas can offer that, this transfer could mark a crucial turning point in his career and help him rediscover the form that once made him one of Ligue 1’s most exciting forwards.

For Nigerian fans, the hope is simple: wherever Moffi lands next, he finds his rhythm again—and starts scoring freely.
