Team News: Despite insufficient investment in the transfer market, Ineos will not sell Nice

August 12th According to the "Team News", although there is little investment in signings, Ineos will not sell Nice.

As a major shareholder of Nice, Inex's operations in the transfer market have raised questions about whether they are sincerely committed. However, Nice executives said Inex's support for the club is as always and showed no signs of selling the club.

Since 2019, Ineos Group has become a major shareholder of Nice. Since December 2023, they have also become owners of Manchester United. Recently, Ineos has invested 60 million euros in Nice, a move that has been interpreted by some as simplifying the equity structure in order to increase the value of the club and facilitate selling. Since Inex acquired Manchester United, rumors about its possible abandonment of Nice have not been cut off, and various speculations have emerged one after another.

The lack of transparency in the multi-club strategy of Inelis Group and the lack of player exchanges or transfers between the two clubs always make people confused by their intentions. In addition, Ineos Group's limited investment in Nice in the transfer market has also become another doubtful factor.

These factors seem to further demonstrate that Ineos Group's waning interest in Nice. In March this year, Sir Ratcliff, president of Ineos Group, publicly stated that he "didn't particularly like to go to Nice games because his level is not high enough." Such remarks undoubtedly aggravated the outside world's speculation that they withdraw from Nice. However, when asked about the matter, Nice management insisted that there was no indication that Ineos would withdraw its investment.
