Watford's Moroccan midfielder Imran Louza, who has a market value of 14,000,000 euros, is reportedly on the shortlist for Panathinaikos as an alternative to Jensen. It is also reported that Louza has been mentioned in AEK reports. It is noted that Louza's agent, Pastorello, recently completed a difficult deal with Panathinaikos for De Vrij, and that this indicates an existing communication channel between the agent and the club.

Panathinaikos was recently interested in Imrân Louza, a 26-year-old Moroccan international, but the deal did not progress. The club signed his Watford teammate, Sissoko, and Louza was not part of the final selection. According to Sportdog.gr, Olympiacos has also shown interest in the midfielder. Louza has 14 caps and 2 goals for his country. In the Championship this season, he has scored 6 goals and provided 5 assists in 6 appearances for the club he joined in July 2021. His contract with Watford is valid until 2028, and his current market value on Transfermarkt is €10.00m. Brighton reportedly made an offer of approximately €4 million in January 2026. His transfer from Nantes to Watford in July 2021 was for a €10 million fee.
