LOSC, looking for a new attacking dynamic to strengthen its position in Ligue 1, has its sights set on young Portuguese nugget Thiago Moraes. The Boavista striker, just 20 years old, has impressed Lille scouts with his impressive performances this season: six goals and two assists in 16 appearances, a notable statistic despite his current side's turmoil.
LOSC wants serious competition for Jonathan David, whose current performance does not reflect the brilliance of last season. The arrival of a talent like Moraes will not only enhance the competitiveness within the team, but will also bring a new creative dimension and a fresh breath to Lille's forefront.
The French club have already taken an important step by making a first offer for Maurice. However, the path to his signing is not without obstacles. Los Angeles FC face competition from Panathinaikos, with the Greek club also showing keen interest in the young striker. Lille's ability to complete this move could define a large part of their season, injecting new attacking momentum into their quest for the top spot in Ligue 1. The Boavista player's value is estimated at 2 million euros.
