OGC Nice and FC Barcelona have agreed on a deal that will see French forward Demba Ba leave the club for a reported fee of €12 million.
The transfer has been controversial, with some fans and media outlets questioning whether or not Ba is still fit to play football after suffering from a serious knee injury in January.
However, according to reports, Ba is currently training with his new team and is expected to make his debut against Olympique de Marseille in the Ligue 1 matchday 27 fixture on Saturday.
Ba's return to action comes at a crucial time for OGC Nice, who are currently in second place in the league table and looking to maintain their top-flight status next season.
With Ba's arrival, the club will be hoping he can provide the firepower they need to compete with Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco for the title.
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen how Ba will fare under new manager Christophe Galtier, who took over from Claude Puel earlier this month.
Whatever the outcome, one thing is clear - Ba's return to OGC Nice will be watched closely by both supporters and critics alike.
