Himad Abdelli has emerged as a sought-after name ahead of the summer transfer window, but the Algerian international insists he remains committed to Angers for now.
Speaking to Ouest-France, the 25-year-old midfielder expressed a measured and loyal stance amid growing speculation about his future. “We will see with the president if there are requests that suit us both.
For the moment, I am under contract with SCO, I don’t have the impression of reaching the end of a cycle, I really like this club and I am attached to it,” Abdelli said.
Since joining Angers SCO in 2022, Abdelli has steadily become one of the club’s central figures. His composure, vision, and technical prowess in midfield have made him indispensable to the team’s structure.
This season alone, he has featured in 35 matches across all competitions, contributing six goals and one assist. These figures reflect both his consistency and influence in the middle of the park.
His form has not gone unnoticed. Several top-tier Ligue 1 clubs are reportedly keeping a close eye on the Algerian, with Lille, Olympique de Marseille, and OGC Nice all understood to be interested in acquiring his services during the upcoming transfer window.
Each club is seeking to bolster its midfield options, and Abdelli’s versatility and maturity make him an attractive option.
Despite the speculation, Abdelli has made it clear that he feels no urgent need to leave. His comments suggest a player who values continuity and respects the club that has played a pivotal role in his development over the past three seasons.
Angers may face a difficult decision in the months ahead. While Abdelli’s contract status gives the club some control over the situation, the interest from high-profile Ligue 1 sides could tempt both the player and the club to consider a move if an offer meets the expectations of all parties involved.
Still, Abdelli’s loyalty remains a constant. His bond with the club and the fans has deepened since his arrival, and his performances have helped steer Angers through challenging periods.
This underlines his status not just as a talented player but as a figure of stability.
Whether this summer marks the end of Abdelli’s journey with Angers or simply another chapter remains to be seen. What is certain is that the midfielder’s blend of technical skill and tactical intelligence has placed him firmly on the radar of France’s top footballing institutions. His next move, if any, will be closely watched across the league.
