Aris Limassol is currently in advanced negotiations to sign 27-year-old French center-back Mickael Nade from Saint-Etienne. According to reports from Footmercato, the Cypriot club has submitted an attractive offer that has brought the two sides close to a final agreement for the defender's transfer.

Nade, a 193-centimeter-tall product of the Saint-Etienne youth system, has spent his entire career with the French club, excluding a loan spell at Rouen during the 2020-21 season. Despite having a contract running until 2028, he is currently training separately from the main squad and is considered available for transfer. The player recently missed a friendly match against Rangers in Glasgow, signaling his impending departure from the team where he has made 144 appearances across all competitions.

This move comes after a productive season where Nade recorded 36 appearances and played a vital role in Saint-Etienne's campaign. As the negotiations progress, both clubs are moving toward a finalized deal, with Aris Limassol looking to bolster its defense ahead of the upcoming season.
