Himad Abdelli leaving Angers SCO?

Angers sporting director Laurent Boissier stated on RMC that there is currently no agreement with OM for the transfer of Himad Abdelli. Boissier also said that the situation is not blocked and that OM needs to increase its financial offer.

Alexandre Dujeux mentioned during a match that an agreement concerning attacking midfielder Himad Abdelli was at an advanced stage. However, when questioned about the matter after the game, Roberto De Zerbi stated that Abdelli is not a player on his team. De Zerbi said he does not know if the transfer will be completed and described Abdelli as a very strong player, like many players from Angers.

Angers coach Alexandre Dujeux stated on Ligue 1+ that he sensed a reluctance from Himad Abdelli to play, explaining that an agreement exists between the player and OM. Dujeux described the situation as very difficult and particular, and indicated that it would be resolved within hours.

Himad Abdelli is being pursued by OM and will not participate in this match due to Marseille's interest.

Himad Abdelli, who is in the final months of his contract with Angers SCO, is a highly sought-after profile in Ligue 1, and several clubs have contacted his entourage. In Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille and Olympique Lyonnais have expressed their interest. According to the information, Himad Abdelli has given his preference to Olympique de Marseille. The club convinced him with their sporting project and the proposed role. Angers SCO would prefer to receive a transfer fee rather than see Abdelli leave for free, so he could join as early as this winter if an agreement is reached, or in the summer as a free agent.

According to Téléfoot, Olympique de Marseille is interested in Himad Abdelli and internal discussions have been held regarding a potential transfer, but negotiations with Angers have not yet been successful. Marseille has not yet formalized its interest and no official offer has been made. Angers is reportedly asking for more than 4 million euros for Abdelli. Some observers consider this figure excessive as he could leave for free at the end of the season. The sporting director of Marseille wishes to conclude the deal quickly.

According to Téléfoot, Olympique de Marseille is following Himad Abdelli. At present, the Marseille management has not made any proposal to Angers for a transfer of the player in January.

According to La Tribune Olympienne, Olympique de Marseille has reached an agreement in principle with Himad Abdelli. Abdelli is an attacking midfielder from SCO d’Angers. There is no agreement yet between Marseille and Angers, and discussions between the two clubs are expected to intensify in the coming days. Himad Abdelli is reportedly attracted by the Marseille project. Abdelli is under contract with Angers until June 2026 and earns a salary of 120,000 euros per year.

According to Footmarseillais, OM is once again interested in Algerian midfielder Himad Abdelli, who was of interest to the Marseille club in the past. SCO Angers is trying to extend his contract, but Abdelli reportedly refused the latest salary increase offer made at the end of September. With his contract expiring next June, the player is on course to become a free agent. Medhi Benatia has reportedly noted Abdelli's name for the summer of 2025. Abdelli would prefer a European project. A transfer between OM and Abdelli did not happen last summer despite genuine interest from Marseille's leaders.

L'Équipe has reported that Himad Abdelli has declined a contract extension offer from Angers. The Algerian midfielder is now considering other options for the next season. It is reported that Abdelli is not interested in a transfer to the Middle East or Turkey, as he prefers an ambitious sporting project in Europe.

L'Équipe reported that Sevilla FC was considering a loan with a purchase option for Himad Abdelli. The set transfer fee was between 8 and 10 million euros.

According to L'Équipe, Himad Abdelli refused a contract extension offer from Angers in mid-October. The offer was made by the club at the end of September and was an attractive proposal that could have made the Algerian international the best-paid player in the squad. Abdelli's contract expires in June 2026, and his current earnings are 40,000 euros gross per month, excluding bonuses. He will therefore be free to sign with another club for the next season starting this winter.

His future will depend on the ambitions of SCO and the interest from more prestigious clubs. An extension with a revaluation or a transfer this winter to avoid a free departure in 2026 are the most likely scenarios.

The situation with Himad Abdelli is complex, but there is a higher chance of resolving his transfer. The high price demand is a deterrent for interested clubs.

Himad Abdelli, an Algerian international with 4 caps, has drawn concrete interest from Côme and Leeds. Angers is attempting to extend his contract, but without success so far.

AS Saint-Étienne has shown interest in Himad Abdelli, a versatile midfielder from Angers. The club has observed and appreciated his performances, and Angers is open to the idea of letting him go, but not at any price. The transfer process has started.
