RC Lens is closely following Levski Sofia midfielder Akram Bouras and is described as the most advanced club in monitoring him. The French club is seeking a midfielder with Bouras's profile, who can provide volume, repeat efforts, and connect lines within a physically demanding system. Four other European clubs are also pursuing the 24-year-old Algerian. Toulouse FC is another interested club in France, reportedly attracted by his versatility. Standard de Liège is following him with the aim of reinforcing their midfield, FC Bâle sees him as a good market opportunity, and AEK Athènes has placed him on an expanded shortlist. Bouras joined Levski Sofia in August 2025 for a reported fee of €350,000. He has a contract with the club until June 2028 and has yet to be capped by the Algerian national team. His current market value is €1.20m, according to Transfermarkt.
