Atalanta remain the favourites to bring Jeremie Boga from Sassuolo, as Nice, Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique Marseille back off.

Boga’s current contract is due to expire in June 2022 and he has openly refused to sign an extension, declaring he wants to move on from the Mapei Stadium.

Sassuolo set an asking price of €25m for the 24-year-old Ivory Coast international winger.

According to Footmercato in France, Atalanta are still the hot favourites, especially as competition from Ligue 1 seems to have ebbed away.

OGC Nice, Marseille and Lyon have all stepped back from their pursuit of Boga, while Napoli have always baulked at the price-tag.

His last season was disappointing by his usual standards, as Boga felt the effects of having COVID-19 and looked a different player.

He struggled to shake the virus off, testing positive and remaining in self-isolation for six weeks.

He still managed to score four goals and provide two assists in 27 Serie A games for the Neroverdi.
