Jaouen Hadjam attracts FC Porto and Como interest before transfer deadline

FC Porto and Como are monitoring Young Boys left-back Jaouen Hadjam as the Algeria international emerges as a potential target during the final days of the transfer window.

Hadjam, 23, has attracted attention from clubs looking to strengthen at left-back, with Porto considering the defender among several options for the position.

According to the Portuguese press, Porto are interested in Hadjam’s profile and have included him on their list of possible targets. The club previously considered a move for the Algerian last year but ultimately decided not to pursue the transfer.

The situation has now changed, with the Portuguese side once again assessing the possibility of signing him.

Porto’s management is weighing up several alternatives before deciding whether to step up its interest and open more formal discussions with Young Boys.

Hadjam remains under contract with the Swiss club until June 2028, giving Young Boys a strong position in any potential negotiations over his future.

His experience with Algeria and his consistency at club level could also make him an attractive option for teams looking to strengthen their defence before the transfer window closes.

Porto are not the only club monitoring the defender.

Serie A side Como have also been looking at Hadjam as they search for options to improve their left flank. The Italian club’s interest provides another potential destination for the Algeria international if either side decides to make a formal approach.

Como’s project could prove particularly appealing after they finished fourth in Serie A last season and secured qualification for the Champions League.

That achievement has placed the Italian club among Europe’s top competition for the coming campaign and could make a move to Como an attractive proposition for Hadjam.

For now, neither Porto nor Como has made a concrete move for the defender, with both clubs continuing to assess their options.

Hadjam’s contractual situation at Young Boys means the Swiss club retains significant negotiating power, while his international experience could further strengthen his position in the transfer market.

With the transfer window approaching its final stages, attention will now turn to whether either Porto or Como decides to turn its interest into a formal offer.

Hadjam could therefore become one of the Algerian full-backs attracting the most attention before the window closes, with two clubs monitoring his situation.
