Mohamed, 27, remains under contract with Nantes until June 2027 and is currently involved in the club’s pre-season preparations.
The Egypt international has shown strong early form, scoring both goals in a 2-0 friendly win over Stade Lavallois on 12 July and netting again in a 2-1 loss to Guingamp on 19 July.
According to L’Équipe, Nice have yet to submit a formal offer for the Egyptian forward but have identified him as a potential reinforcement as they overhaul their attacking options.
With Laborde’s move now official and fellow striker Evann Guessand also expected to depart, the Riviera side are in the market for support to partner lead striker Terem Moffi.
Nice finished fifth in Ligue 1 last season and are aiming to build a squad capable of competing on both domestic and European fronts.
