Lokomotiv Moscow has recently shown interest in MC Alger midfielder Mohamed Zougrana, 24, who could potentially depart in the next transfer window. The Burkinabè international, who also holds Ivorian nationality, reportedly has a desire to leave. In addition to the Russian club, African clubs such as Al Ahly SC and Pyramids FC are monitoring his situation. MC Alger has rejected an approach from AS FAR and an unnamed Libyan club. While rumors suggested the Algerian club was demanding a fee of over 6 billion FCFA, Zougrana's entourage denied this, stating the figure was invented and not representative of the ongoing discussions. The player's staff and club management are currently analyzing the available options, with talks expected to intensify at the end of the season. Zougrana, who joined MC Algiers in July 2023, has a contract that runs until 2027 and has earned 7 caps for Burkina Faso, scoring twice. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €850k.
