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.
