Meknes – Espérance de Tunis are actively looking to boost their attack and have made Moroccan international Sofiane Boufal one of their top summer transfer targets.
According to Africafoot, the Tunisian giants have opened talks with the Moroccan international over a potential summer transfer.
Boufal is currently unattached; Espérance have a clear opportunity to land the experienced winger on a free transfer, eliminating the need to negotiate a transfer fee.
Africafoot reports that Initial talks between both parties have been positive, with Espérance executives exploring contract length and wage demands to see if a deal is possible. While no final decision has been made.
The 32-year-old player boasts an impressive footballing resume. After making his name at Angers and breaking through at Lille, the winger earned a landmark move to Premier League side Southampton.
The Moroccan international went on to feature for Celta Vigo, Qatari outfit Al Rayyan, and Belgium’s Union Saint-Gilloise before making his return to French football with Le Havre.
On the international stage, Boufal has been capped around 40 times for Morocco and played a pivotal role in the Atlas Lions’ legendary run to the 2022 World Cup semi-finals.
During the second half of the 2025/26 season with Le Havre, Boufal proved he can still deliver in the final third. Playing 1,028 minutes across 17 Ligue 1 appearances, the winger scored once and delivered four assists.
Espérance recognizes the quality Boufal brings and are eager to convince him to move to Tunisia. Getting this deal over the line would mark a major statement of intent for the club this summer.
