Nkounkou has been frozen out at Frankfurt and instructed to train away from the first team. The former Everton defender is also contracted to Die Adler until 2028.
The Frenchman is reportedly a close friend of Elye Wahi, who joined Nice on loan from Frankfurt, and could potentially follow the same route.
Nice return to Ligue 1 action on Sunday when they travel to face Paris FC, with further transfer activity expected before the window shuts.
