Moffi, 23, has signed for Nice initially on loan until the
end of the season when the transfer will become permanent with the striker
signing a contract to 2027.
Different sources say Nice will pay a fee of 25 million
euros ($27.1m) plus a possible five million euros more in bonuses, making Moffi
their record signing.
Moffi, who used to play in Lithuania and Belgium, has scored
12 goals in Ligue 1 this season, a tally bettered only by Kylian Mbappe, who
has 13 for Paris Saint-Germain.
He had also been a target in the January window for
Marseille and clubs in the English Premier League.

His departure from Lorient follows that of Dango Ouattara,
the Burkina Faso winger who was sold to Bournemouth for a reported 27 million
euros.
Moffi's signing is a statement of intent by Nice, who currently
lie in mid-table in Ligue 1 but have ambitions of challenging at the top of the
standings under their owners Ineos, the group chaired by Monaco-based British
petrochemicals billionaire Jim Ratcliffe who bought the club in 2019.
