Algeria-France right winger Aymen Boutoutaou of FC Sochaux is being linked with a move to Romanian side FCSB, with the French-born wide player potentially heading for the SuperLiga as uncertainty remains over his contract situation in Ligue 3.
The 25-year-old, who is valued at €800k, is currently on the books of Sochaux-Montbéliard but has no publicly listed contract expiry date, fuelling speculation he could be available at a reduced fee or even approach free-agent status if talks over a new deal fail to materialise. Transfermarkt lists the probability of a move only as “?”, underlining how early-stage the discussions appear to be.
Born in Lille on 18 February 2001, Boutoutaou holds both Algerian and French nationality and stands at 1.74m. A right‑footed attacker whose main role is as an attacking right winger, he has been a regular presence for Sochaux in France’s Championnat National (Ligue 3), wearing the number 28 shirt.
Recent performances for Sochaux have helped maintain interest in his profile. In his latest recorded outing, Boutoutaou featured on the right flank for Sochaux in a tightly contested league fixture earlier this month, contributing with his usual work-rate and width in a narrow scoreline, though he did not register a goal or assist as his side were held in a low-scoring draw. His showing nevertheless underlined the blend of energy and direct running that has drawn attention beyond France’s third tier.
FCSB, perennial contenders in Romania’s top flight, are monitoring the situation as they weigh up whether to move for a player whose market value suggests a relatively low-risk transfer for a wide option in his mid-20s.
If a deal is completed, a switch from Sochaux to Bucharest would mark a significant step in Boutoutaou’s career, offering a higher-profile platform in the SuperLiga to enhance his reputation and test his potential on a new stage.
