LOSC Lille, which is seeking midfield reinforcements, has inquired about the possibility of signing Soungoutou Magassa from West Ham. The 22-year-old French and Malian midfielder is expected to leave the London club after their relegation to the Championship, and RB Leipzig has also shown interest. However, other clubs are further along in the process, as Bologna and Sevilla have both submitted formal offers to West Ham. The proposals are reportedly for a paid loan that includes an obligation to buy. This structure is appealing to the English club because it needs to lower its wage bill. The player is currently analyzing these two projects. Magassa has three caps for France U23, joined West Ham in August 2025, and his contract is valid until 2031. His market value is currently €17.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
