Lens are being linked with a move for Levski Sofia’s Algerian central midfielder Akram Bouras in a deal that could cost close to his reported €1.20m market value.
The 24-year-old, who plays primarily as a left-footed central midfielder, is currently on the books of Bulgarian top-flight side Levski Sofia in the efbet Liga. Data from Transfermarkt lists his market value at €1.20m, with the Ligue 1 club monitoring his situation ahead of the summer window. His contract length in Sofia has not been disclosed, fuelling speculation over whether he could be available as a cut‑price signing or even approach free‑agent status if his deal is nearing its end.
Born on 23 February 2002 in Ain Azel, Algeria, Bouras has emerged as a developing midfield option in Bulgaria, operating from a central role and wearing the No 47 shirt for Levski. Standing at 1.84m and naturally left-footed, he has been used in the heart of midfield, where his profile has begun to attract interest from outside the efbet Liga.
The rumour, dated 9 May 2026, places Lens as the club most strongly associated with a potential move, though the reported probability of the transfer is listed only as “?”, underlining that talks are at a speculative stage and no agreement between the clubs has been reported. There is also no official confirmation from either Levski Sofia or Lens that negotiations have started.
Recent match data and detailed statistics around individual fixtures are not publicly specified in the available information, but Bouras’s growing reputation in Bulgaria has coincided with this latest bout of transfer noise.
If a move to Ligue 1 were to materialise, it would mark a significant step in Bouras’s career, offering him the chance to test himself at a higher level and potentially reshape his reputation from a promising midfielder in Bulgaria to a regular performer in one of Europe’s major leagues.
