Strasbourg checks Harder and weighs Bouanani on loan

Strasbourg’s transfer business is still far from over. As reported by L’Équipe, the Alsatian club is working on a loan move for Conrad Harder from RB Leipzig, while also making inquiries about Badredine Bouanani at Stuttgart with the same idea: bring him in on loan.

Harder’s situation, which L’Équipe had highlighted on Sunday, looks set to take shape. The Danish forward is an international and 21 years old, and the plan is for him to be loaned out by Leipzig, where he’s been for a season. After a strong spell at Sporting CP—12 goals in 2024-2025—his most recent year in Germany was tougher: 29 appearances and 3 goals. Strasbourg’s goal would be to give him the right environment to bounce back.

Two targets, same route

Alongside the Leipzig option, Strasbourg is also exploring Bouanani. The Algerian winger, a Nice academy product, has five caps for his national team. L’Équipe notes that he’s also looking to regain momentum after a campaign at Stuttgart where he was mainly used as squad depth, ending with 14 Bundesliga matches. Strasbourg has been asking for a loan, and the German club hasn’t ruled it out.

What’s next

In short: Strasbourg is lining up a pair of loan targets, but there’s still no final signature mentioned in the report. The next step is whether both deals can be agreed on terms—especially with Stuttgart’s willingness to negotiate a loan for Bouanani.
