OGC Nice midfielder Alexis Beka Beka has reportedly threatened to jump from the Magnan viaduct in Nice.

Negotiations are ongoing with a club psychologist on-site, while emergency services, firemen, and the military are involved in the operation.

The incident is said to be related to a romantic breakup. The 22-year-old midfielder joined Nice in 2022 from Lokomotiv Moscow in exchange for 12 million euros but has not played this season. The viaduct is approximately 100 meters high, causing traffic disruptions on the A8 motorway.

The motorway gendarmerie platoon has been tasked with securing the traffic, as one lane has been cut off and there are long traffic jams, while the police are stationed below the viaduct.

In response to the situation, Nice have canceled their scheduled media activities and established a crisis unit.

Training sessions will continue, but the press has been asked to leave, and a planned press conference has been postponed.
