Boudaoui, the French striker who plays for Nice, has renewed his contract with the club until 2026. The deal was announced on Saturday and comes after the midfielder signed a new contract in June.

Nice's president, Didier Deschamps, praised Boudaoui's performances during his time at the club. "He is a key player for us," he said. "We have been very happy to see him continue his career here."

The move follows a disappointing season for Boudaoui, who had struggled to find consistency in his performances. He made just seven starts in all competitions last season, scoring only one goal.

However, Deschamps believes that Boudaoui can still play at a high level in the future. "He has shown that he is capable of being a top-five player in France," he said. "We will be looking forward to seeing what he can do next season."

In addition to his impressive displays this season, Boudaoui has also been involved in some exciting goals for the team. He scored a hat-trick against Lorient in their first match of the campaign, and then added another brace against Angers in the second round of the Coupe de la Ligue.

Overall, Nice's decision to renew Boudaoui's contract is a positive development for the club. They now have a talented player who can contribute to their success both on the pitch and off it.
