OGC Nice is targeting a loan move for Trabzonspor midfielder Benjamin Bouchouari as the French club works to reshape its squad before the transfer window closes, according to reports from French outlets including Foot Mercato. The potential acquisition comes alongside an imminent loan deal for striker Mohamed Amoura as Les Aiglons pursue multiple late-window additions.
Trabzonspor Foreign Player Limit Drives Possible Exit
Trabzonspor currently faces roster constraints due to a Turkish Süper Lig limit restricting clubs to ten foreign players in their active squads, according to Foot Mercato. The Turkish club has actively recruited international talent during the window, adding players such as Salah, Fabinho, and Ruslan Malinovskyi. That squad density creates an opening for Nice, with club officials actively exploring a temporary deal for Bouchouari.
Bouchouari Weighs Return to French Football
Benjamin Bouchouari is reportedly open to the prospect of returning to France, and preliminary discussions have already opened between the player’s camp and OGC Nice management, according to Foot Mercato reporting.
Midfielder’s Recent Form and Contractual Hurdle
The Moroccan midfielder finished the prior season strongly by making 17 appearances for his club and featured in Trabzonspor’s opening two league fixtures of the current campaign. Finalizing the transfer depends on reaching a loan agreement with Trabzonspor, which retains full control over the player’s contractual rights.
