The management of Universitatea Craiova desires the departure of Lyes Houri, a 30-year-old French-Moroccan attacking midfielder, in the current transfer window. It is reported that this decision was influenced by the team's elimination from the UEFA Conference League, which followed a decisive error by Houri in the match against AEK Athens. Houri joined the club in August 2023 and has a contract until June 2026. His current market value is €600k, according to Transfermarkt. The former France U19 international has made 13 appearances in the SuperLiga this season, providing 3 assists.
