Othmane Maamma Transfer from Watford to LOSC Lille
Africafoot reported that the transfer of Othmane Maamma stalled hours before the winter transfer window closed. Lille, which was described as one of the two most advanced French clubs involved in the deal, refused the conditions set by Watford. The conditions were considered too high for this stage of the young Moroccan forward's career. Watford had recently increased its financial demands, with a valuation close to 10 million euros and restrictive clauses, including a significant percentage on a future resale. Consequently, Lille temporarily withdrew from the negotiations.
