Numerous photos have circulated allegedly showing French player Alexis Beka Beka from Nice threatening to jump from the Maginot Bridge in Nice, which is 100 meters high, due to his girlfriend. Police and fire services have cordoned off the area, and Nice has sent a psychologist to the scene.
According to RMC Sport, the situation may be linked to the player's mental health issues, which could have worsened due to a recent "heartbreak" following his breakup with his girlfriend.
Efforts are being made by the player's teammates to contact Beka Beka's girlfriend, while first-team training continues. However, journalists present have been asked to leave after a press conference, originally scheduled for after the training session on Friday, was canceled.
Beka Beka, 22 years old, transferred from Lokomotiv Moscow to Nice in 2022 for a fee of 12 million euros. He has participated in 22 matches with Nice, scoring only once, but has not played any matches this season.
