Strasbourg are looking to continue their weirdly high transfer window in which they added Valencia’s Kevin Gambiero to an imposing list of attackers but have yet to fully replace three first-team center-backs who left this summer with the arrival of young Marseillais Lucas Perrin. as a cover.

According to Mercato on foot, the Alsatian club are in talks with recently relegated Nimes for their attacking midfielder Zinedine Ferhat, making a standing offer, the size of which has yet to be filtered out, for the 28-year-old.

However, Strasbourg has already been the subject of an outbidding, reports Mercato on foot, with an anonymous MLS club submitting a slightly higher bid with an English club and a Turkish club also interested in Ferhat. Meanwhile, Marseille spoke to the player earlier this summer.

After joining Ligue 2 Le Havre in 2019, Ferhat has contributed 15 assists and nine goals in 62 games to date for The crocs, including an impressive 16 goals in 33 Ligue 1 games last season as Nîmes finished 19th in the French top flight.
