Moroccan Talent Oussama Targhalline Makes Move to Feyenoord

In a significant transfer, 22-year-old Moroccan midfielder Oussama Targhalline has departed from struggling Ligue 1 club Le Havre AC to join Dutch giants Feyenoord. The move was finalized after the closure of the French transfer window, highlighting the financial pressures faced by Le Havre.

Targhalline, who made 14 appearances for Le Havre in Ligue 1 this season, joins Feyenoord on a long-term contract until 2028. While the transfer fee remains undisclosed, it’s noteworthy that Olympique de Marseille, Targhalline’s former club, will benefit significantly from the deal due to a 50% sell-on clause.

This transfer marks another departure in what has become an exodus from Le Havre this winter. The club has already seen players like Steve Ngoura, Christopher Opéri, Samuel Grandsir, and Yoann Salmier leave, with Emmanuel Sabbi potentially following suit.

Targhalline’s move to Feyenoord represents a new chapter in his career, where he will don the number 28 shirt. The transfer not only bolsters Feyenoord’s midfield options but also highlights the ongoing talent drain from financially strained French clubs to more stable European leagues.
