Digne has been strongly linked with leaving Aston Villa in the ongoing summer transfer window.
Nice are leading the race for the Frenchman’s signature and want to take him on a season-long loan with an option to buy.
Aston Villa and Nice have been talking about Digne and, according to French daily the Nice-Matin, both clubs have reached an agreement.
However, it has been suggested that Aston Villa will not let Digne leave until they find a replacement for him.
Villa have been heavily linked with Sevilla’s Marcos Acuna, but they have failed to agree a deal for him.
It has been suggested that the Midlands outfit are now looking into Arsenal’s Nuno Tavares as an alternative to Acuna.
