Ipswich Town has shown interest in Saïd Benrahma, who has impressed during his Premier League stint with Brentford and West Ham. Benrahma moved to Olympique Lyonnais last winter in a dramatic transfer finalized after the official closure of the winter transfer window. He was permanently acquired in the summer transfer window for 20 million euros. This season, he is facing increased competition from Malick Fofana, and Olympique Lyonnais is experiencing financial difficulties, necessitating player sales to balance the books and lift the recruitment ban imposed by DNCG. Benrahma is considered a key candidate for departure to aid the club's financial situation.

There was interest from Ipswich Town in acquiring Saïd Benrahma. However, specific details about the offer or further negotiations were not disclosed, and Olympique Lyonnais has been managing interest from multiple parties, including a confirmed offer from the Saudi Pro League club Neom, which was rejected. Benrahma himself was not interested in the Neom project.
