Nice on Thursday announced the signing of France right-back Jonathan Clauss from Marseille on a two-year deal.

Clauss, 31, who joined Marseille in 2022, was an unused member of Les Bleus' Euro 2024 squad.

He joins for a fee of about five million euros ($5.43 million), according to reports.

On the Cote d'Azur, Clauss will reunite with Franck Haise, the ex-boss of Lens, where the defender spent two seasons before moving to the Stade Velodrome.

"It's true that the possibility of working with the coach made a difference in my choice," Clauss said in a Nice statement.

"I'm at an important moment in my career.

"I need to play often, and to continue playing in European competition... I'm ambitious, like Nice," he added.
