Ligue 1 clubs LOSC Lille and RC Strasbourg are monitoring 21-year-old Ivorian U23 international Ivan M'Bahia. Lille has an apparent advantage, as the club has listed the defender as a priority target to reinforce their defense. M'Bahia is currently contracted to Clermont until 2028, which puts the club in a strong negotiating position since they have no obligation to sell. The player's market value is estimated at 2.5 million euros. He joined Clermont in July 2024 and last season made one appearance in Ligue 1, along with 34 appearances and two goals in Ligue 2.
