Bursaspor defender Renato Civelli has revealed that he wants to join Nice in January.

“The board know that I want to join Nice,” Civelli said.

“I want a fresh start, I cannot say everything is going to plan right now at Bursaspor, I am unhappy and would like to move.”

The 31-year-old defender has been closely linked with the Ligue 1 outfit.

Nice are reported to have held talks with the Argentinian defender and are expected to sign Civelli by the end of the transfer window.

Civelli whose contract runs out in June 2015, has made 16 appearances for Bursaspor this season.

The experienced defender joined Bursaspor from Nice on an undisclosed fee in 2013.

Renato made 111 appearances for Nice between 2010-13.

The 31-year-old also previously played for San Lorenzo and Marseille.
