Othmane Maamma, a 20-year-old Moroccan attacking midfielder, is expected to leave Watford this summer, attracting attention from multiple clubs. Benfica has reportedly made detailed inquiries, as has Everton. Crystal Palace is also interested, although this interest is dependent on its future manager. Furthermore, an unidentified top-of-the-table French club is said to be a potential suitor, while Lille had previously assessed the player last winter. The French-Moroccan player joined Watford in July 2025 and his contract runs until 2029. In the 2025/2026 Championship season, Maamma made 25 appearances, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist. He has earned one cap for Morocco and has a Transfermarkt market value of €8.00m.
