Paris FC have identified Imran Louza as their main transfer target as they look to strengthen their midfield ahead of the new Ligue 1 campaign. The Parisian club, who finished 11th last season, want to build a more competitive squad and are aiming to improve their prospects from the opening matches.
According to information from Sacha Tavolieri, Louza is the player Paris FC have prioritised. The Morocco international is viewed as the ideal profile to take control of the midfield and bring greater composure to the team’s play.
The 27-year-old is reportedly open to leaving Watford this summer, as reported exclusively by Africafoot. That possibility has encouraged Paris FC to explore a move for a player who is already familiar with French football.
Louza was developed by FC Nantes before moving to England in 2021. He has remained in English football since then and is now Watford’s captain. The midfielder is coming off the most productive season of his career, despite the Hornets finishing 16th in the Championship.
Across 44 appearances, Louza recorded seven goals and 10 assists. His performances have attracted interest from several clubs and made him an appealing option for Paris FC as they seek more control and creativity in the centre of the pitch.
However, completing a deal is expected to prove difficult. Louza is under contract with Watford until 2028, meaning the English club are in a strong negotiating position. His long-term agreement could therefore create a significant financial obstacle for Paris FC.
The Ligue 1 club also face competition for his signature. According to exclusive information from our sources, clubs from the Premier League are monitoring the Morocco international’s situation and could also make an approach.
Louza is currently valued at 14m euros by Transfermarkt. His salary at Watford is reported to be 1,869,920 euros per year, equivalent to 1,226,008,468 FCFA.
For Paris FC, the midfielder’s experience in both French and English football makes him an attractive target, but the asking price and competition from Premier League clubs could complicate their efforts to bring him back to France.
