OGC Nice is studying the profile of Imrân Louza, a 27-year-old Moroccan international midfielder valued at approximately €10 million with a contract until June 2028. However, the deal is considered financially very complicated for the club, which makes the option unlikely to succeed. Another Ligue 1 club, Paris FC, made initial contact, but discussions have not progressed.
Other clubs are also interested; Ajax Amsterdam has shown concrete interest and Crystal Palace has made inquiries. An unidentified club is also making significant private progress to complete the transfer. Louza joined Watford from Nantes in July 2021 for a fee reported to be €10 million and has 15 caps and 2 goals for Morocco. His current market value is €14.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Additionally, reports from April-June 2026 indicated Watford's asking price was a non-negotiable £15 million.
