FC Nantes midfielder Yassine Benhattab, a French and Algerian national on loan at Stade de Reims, is being monitored by several clubs, including Schalke 04. Other clubs monitoring the player include Hanover, English Championship sides Hull City and Blackburn, along with multiple teams from the Eredivisie and Portugal's top division. A Ligue 1 club that participates in European competition has contacted the player's entourage. Reims has a €5 million purchase option on the 23-year-old, whose contract with Nantes is valid until June 2028. It may be financially challenging for Reims to activate this option unless the club secures promotion to Ligue 1. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €2 million. In January 2026, the purchase option was reportedly estimated to be around €4 million.
