Olympiacos targets Nice midfielder Hicham Boudaoui

Olympiacos is reportedly exploring the transfer of 27-year-old Algerian midfielder Hicham Boudaoui, who currently plays for the French club Nice. According to reports from the French outlet sport.fr, representatives of the Piraeus club have already established contact with the player's management team to discuss a potential move.

Boudaoui, a versatile player capable of operating as both a defensive and central midfielder, has made 213 appearances for Nice since joining the club in 2019, recording 14 goals and between 13 and 15 assists according to conflicting reports. Despite his market value being estimated at 12 million euros, Nice is reportedly seeking a transfer fee of approximately 5 million euros to release him, given that his contract expires at the end of the current season. This year, he has featured in six matches.

The Algerian international has 36 caps for his country and recently represented Algeria at the World Cup, where he appeared in three matches against Jordan, Argentina, and Switzerland. As his contract is set to expire next summer, the situation remains fluid, with Olympiacos currently assessing whether to formalize their interest in the coming transfer window.
