Nice are keen to replace the Lyon-bound Hugo Lloris with Senegal international Tony Sylva.
The Ligue 1 side parted company with their young keeper last week and are keen to find a replacement as soon as possible.
Experienced stopper Sylva is a free agent having refused a contract extension at Lille and is believed to prefer a move to another French side.
However, the African ace is not the only candidate interesting Nice with Marseille's back-up keeper Cedric Carasso also in the frame.
Valenciennes' Nicolas Penneteau is a further option, while Frederic Antonetti has refused to rule out a swoop on a player currently plying their trade outside of France.
