Information gathered by Africafoot in May indicated that Toulouse and Lens both showed interest in Akram Bouras, a midfielder for Levski Sofia, and that Toulouse made a concrete offer. Bouras is still an attractive option due to his lower cost compared to other names on the list, which could make a late move to the French market possible.

French teams are interested in Levski midfielder Akram Bouras. Inquiries have come from Lens, which is second-placed in Ligue 1, and Toulouse, which is tenth-placed. Toulouse has also submitted an offer. Scouts from the interested teams have watched the 24-year-old Algerian in several spring matches, including the 3-1 derby victory against CSKA, where he had a strong performance and scored a goal. It is reported that Levski's management does not intend to sell the player at this time, viewing him as a key part of the team. The two clubs have a transfer history, as Levski sold Stijn Spierings to Toulouse in 2020. Bouras joined Levski in August 2025 and is under contract until June 2028. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €1.20m. He is yet to be capped by Algeria.
