A Spanish lead out of nowhere
He has been without a club since the summer, and he is in no rush to grab the first thing offered.
Foot Mercato, picking up reporting from La Opinion A Coruna, say Deportivo La Coruna have added Sofiane Boufal to their attacking shortlist. The Galician club could move within days. They may have company too, with a second Spanish side said to be watching the same file.
Nothing is official. It is a lead, presented as a possibility by both outlets, and the window is nearly shut.

Six months at Le Havre changed the conversation
His stock had slipped badly. Half a season fixed that.
Boufal’s spell at Le Havre was enough to get his career moving again. Performing regularly, the Morocco international is once more a name a scout will happily put in front of a sporting director. Late in a window, that profile is gold: match-fit, proven, and free.
Free agency changes the whole shape of a deal. No club-to-club haggling, nobody trying to squeeze out an extra million. Wages, length, done. Things can move in 48 hours.
Deportivo are spending like a club with a plan
They already have Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, signed after his exit from Marseille. Put Boufal in behind him and that is a second serious name at a club that spent far too long out of view.
Whether the player wants Spain is the part nobody can answer yet. The file is open, there is a rival, and the calendar is not leaving much room to think it over.
