Sofiane Boufal has been a free agent since the termination of his contract with Union Saint-Gilloise in January 2026. Le Havre AC has made a serious offer of a six-month contract, which is conditional on Boufal passing medical examinations to be conducted during the week. Le Havre is seeking offensive reinforcements for the second half of the season and perceives Boufal as a player who can provide creativity, experience, and an immediate effect.

Le Havre is expected to sign Sofiane Boufal following Romain Faivre's decision not to join the club. Boufal, a 32-year-old Moroccan international and attacking midfielder who also holds French nationality, will return to Ligue 1 as a free agent. For Morocco, he has been capped 46 times, scoring 8 goals. The player has signed a contract that runs until the end of the season, and an official announcement is pending. His current Transfermarkt market value is €2.00m.
