Laborde joined Nice three years ago from Rennes. In total, the 31-year-old has logged 33 goals in 118 appearances. Laborde’s contract was set to expire next year. Laborde’s departure will be part of a broader shake-up in Nice’s attack ahead of next season. The club have already announced the signing of Isak Jansson, while both Jérémie Boga and Evann Guessand could also leave this summer.
