Lille are reportedly in talks to sign Sevilla defender Tanguy Nianzou, with negotiations between the two clubs said to be advancing quickly.

According to Foot Mercato, the LaLiga team are open to selling the 24-year-old as they look to ease their financial problems and reduce their wage bill.

The Andalusian club are also believed to be willing to accept a modest transfer fee despite the French centre-back being under contract until 2027. 

Nianzou, who came through the academy at Paris Saint-Germain, joined Bayern Munich in 2020 but struggled with injuries during his time in Germany. 

His move to Sevilla in 2022 brought little improvement, with recurring fitness issues limiting him to 62 appearances across four seasons in Spain.
