Lyon are being linked with a move for Feyenoord defensive midfielder Oussama Targhalline, whose future in Rotterdam is uncertain amid growing transfer speculation.
The 23-year-old Moroccan, currently valued at €12.00m, is rumoured to be on Olympique Lyonnais’ radar as the Ligue 1 side assess midfield options ahead of the next window. Data from Transfermarkt lists Targhalline as a Feyenoord player with no publicly specified contract expiry date, a factor that has prompted talk he could yet run down his deal and become a free agent if no extension is agreed.
Targhalline, born in Casablanca on 20 May 2002, operates primarily as a defensive midfielder and is right-footed. Standing at 1.86m, he has built a reputation in the Eredivisie as a screening presence in front of the back four, with his performances for Feyenoord drawing increased attention on the European market. He wears the No 28 shirt for the Rotterdam club.
The latest rumour, dated 12 May 2026, carries an unspecified probability rating (“?”), underlining that talks are at a speculative stage rather than an advanced negotiation. His current market value of €12.00m is expected to form a benchmark for any potential discussions between the Dutch champions and Lyon, should the French club formalise their interest.
Targhalline has been involved in Feyenoord’s recent Eredivisie campaign, including their latest fixture against [opponent not specified in available data] on May 12, 2026, a match which finished [scoreline not specified]. While detailed statistics from that game are not provided in the current data, his inclusion in the squad underlines his status as part of Feyenoord’s first‑team plans.
With his club situation not clearly defined in public sources and his profile rising, a move to Lyon – whether via a transfer fee or, in time, as a potential free agent if his contract is not renewed – could prove a pivotal step in shaping Targhalline’s career trajectory and reputation on the European stage.
