Nice will sign Mario Balotelli permanently from Liverpool.
It is understood that the French club have bitten the bullet and will sign the Italian striker from the Reds on a free.
Nice made a similar move this time last year by signing Hatem Ben Arfa and completely resurrected his career which saw him join PSG earlier this summer.
The club are hoping they can do something similar with Balotelli who has struggled since arriving at Anfield in 2014.
