Troyes is interested in signing Standard de Liège's 27-year-old French-Cameroonian forward Timothé Nkada, seeking to strengthen their attack given the player's situation. The French club has already made an offer. It is reported that the club appreciates Nkada's profile, and it also views his Ligue 2 experience as a benefit. The proposal was for a loan without a purchase option, terms that the management at the Liège club did not agree to, and it was subsequently refused. Nkada's time at Standard has been complicated by competition and injury, which has limited his playing time. The forward, who has one cap for France U20, is under contract with Standard until 2028, and it is uncertain if Troyes will make another, more persuasive proposal. Nkada joined Standard Liège in August 2025 for a fee reported to be €1.8M and has also been linked with Nantes. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €2.00m, a figure that was reported in April 2026 as Standard Liège's asking price.
