Ayoub El Kaabi has been linked with a potential move to Nantes and other clubs in the Middle East. Despite numerous reports, Moroccan media confirm that no official offer has been made to Olympiacos for El Kaabi. Journalist Ilyes Kaddouri emphasizes that if El Kaabi had a more internationally appealing name, European clubs would be eager to sign him. He has had an impressive season with over 40 goals/assists, performing well in Greece, Europe, and for the national team. The transfer window is still open, so a move could still occur.

A French report mentions interest from Nantes for Olympiacos' top scorer, Ayoub El Kaabi. However, this report seems unrealistic given Nantes' 13th place finish in Ligue 1 and their lackluster performance, managing only 36 points. Olympiacos is unlikely to sell their top striker, especially with their entry into the Champions League. Additionally, it seems difficult for the Moroccan forward to want to leave Olympiacos for a mid-table French team. Despite this, Nantes is reportedly searching for a 'killer' striker and El Kaabi is on their list.
