The future of LOSC’s recruitment for the next summer mercato is subject to intense speculation, particularly as regards the potential replacement of Edon Zhegrova, whose imminent departure is anticipated. The Nordic club could turn to Anis Hadj Moussa, an Algerian international law winger currently operating in the Feyenoord Rotterdam. The 23-year-old has greatly enriched his experience with his participation in the Champions League and has established himself as a key element in the Dutch championship, distinguished by his dribbling qualities and with a score of 6 goals and 2 assists in Eredivisie. Although the financial requirements of the Dutch club remain unknown, it is plausible to imagine a request of at least 15 million euros to acquire this talent.
Along with an interest in Anis Hadj Moussa, the LOSC is also interested in another young hope of Algerian football, Rayan Kolli. This 20-year-old London-born attacker chose to represent Algeria and demonstrated promising potential with Queen’s Park Rangers in Championship, where he scored 5 goals and delivered 3 assists in 16 matches. The Lille club would have already expressed its interest with the player via Olivier Lรฉtang, by offering him a contract in January, but the latter, being close to the end of his contract with QPR, had not acted.
Finally, it should be noted that AS Monaco and Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia are also interested in the young Anglo-Algarian attacker. The contractual situation of Rayan Kolli, who is no longer a free agent, could influence the LOSC’s strategy in this case. It remains to be determined whether the Nordic club will maintain its interest in this player, now bound to Queen’s Park Rangers by a long-term contract.
