The summer transfer window is in full swing in Ligue 1, with several deals finalized in recent days and other negotiations still ongoing. Between signings, initial contacts, and behind-the-scenes talks, clubs are working hard to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season. Here’s a round-up of the key moves and the stories to watch.
Confirmed Signings: Lens and Nantes Make Their Moves
RC Lens have officially announced the signing of Yacine Titraoui from Charleroi. The 23-year-old Algerian midfielder comes in to fill the gap left by Mamadou Sangaré in the center of the park, according to But! Football Club. Recently introduced to his new supporters, Titraoui has already made an impression with his smooth integration into the Artois side, who continue to reshape their squad.At FC Nantes, the defense is being reshuffled. According to L’Équipe, as reported by But! Football Club, central defender Saïdou Sow is on the verge of returning to the Canaries. The move would be a loan from RC Strasbourg for a player who already knows the Nantes setup, having spent the 2024-2025 season there previously.
OM: Move for Martin Terrier, Endrick on the Radar
At Olympique de Marseille, the focus is on rebuilding the attack. Following the departures of Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the pursuit of Martin Terrier is gathering pace. According to Foot-sur7, the Frenchman—currently struggling at Bayer Leverkusen—is open to a return to Ligue 1 and could reunite with Bruno Genesio, his former coach at Rennes. A major announcement on this front is expected soon in Marseille.
In attack, OM are also among the clubs approached by Real Madrid regarding a potential loan for Endrick, according to But! Football Club. The Brazilian striker is coming off a successful loan spell at OL, but his future in the Spanish capital remains uncertain. However, talks are still at a preliminary stage, and there has been no concrete progress so far.
Imrân Louza: Ligue 1 Eyes a Comeback
The name Imrân Louza is circulating insistently on the French market. After a strong season at Watford (7 goals, 9 assists), the Moroccan international is on the radar of Paris FC, who have made contact in recent days according to Foot Mercato, as reported by Sport.fr. OGC Nice are also studying his profile, but the deal appears financially complicated. Other suitors, such as Ajax Amsterdam and Crystal Palace, are also in the mix. The prospect of a Ligue 1 return for the Nantes academy product remains uncertain at this stage, with stiff competition and the player’s value set at a high level.
To Watch
As the summer window progresses, several deals could be finalized quickly. A decision on Martin Terrier to OM is imminent, and the situation surrounding Endrick should become clearer in the coming days. Active clubs like Lens, Marseille, and Paris FC could still step up their efforts, while others remain on the lookout, hoping to seize the right opportunities in what has been a highly competitive market this summer.
