Elche submitted a loan proposal for 26-year-old French-Algerian winger Rafik Guitane this transfer window, while Sevilla and Nantes have also been following the player for a few seasons. Estoril's administration requires three million euros to sanction a transfer, an amount which no club has offered. Guitane is still coveted in markets that remain open, such as Cyprus and Turkey, but he will likely stay at Estoril unless an irrefutable offer is made by the end of the week. The player's contract runs until June 2026, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €4 million.
