France-Algeria centre-forward Ilies Faure of Rayo Majadahonda is being linked with a summer switch to Portuguese side Coimbra, with the 25-year-old’s future in Spain increasingly uncertain.
Reports in Spain and Portugal suggest the Segunda Federación Group V striker, valued at €250k on Transfermarkt, is on the radar of the Liga 3 club as they assess attacking options for next season. The rumour currently carries an unspecified probability rating (“?”), underlining that talks, if any, are at an early stage.
Faure, who wears the number 9 shirt for Rayo Majadahonda, has no publicly listed contract expiry date, prompting speculation that he could either be available at a low fee or potentially move on as a free agent if his deal has quietly run down. There is no confirmation from either club that negotiations have begun.
Born in Toulouse on 28 June 2001, the 1.92m left-footed forward offers a classic target-man profile and can operate through the middle in an attacking role. He holds dual nationality, having ties to both France and Algeria, and has been developing his game in Spain’s lower leagues with Majadahonda.
Recent match data from this season in the Segunda Federación – including Rayo Majadahonda’s fixtures in Group V – show Faure continuing to feature in the club’s forward line, though detailed statistics from individual games such as opponent, date, scoreline and his specific contributions are not fully documented in the available data.
With no clear contract end date published and a modest market value, Coimbra may view Faure as a cost-effective option as they look to bolster their squad in Portugal’s third tier. Should the move materialise, a switch to Liga 3 could provide the tall Franco-Algerian striker with a fresh platform to raise his profile and reshape the next phase of his career.
