Angers president Said Chabane is well aware of the major transfer interest for Azzedie Ounahi.
Barcelona are keen on the Morocco World Cup star, with Leicester City said to have already made an offer for the midfielder.
And his club president says a deal can be done in January - though with a qualifier.
Chabane said: "We have received many bids, we have been contacted by major clubs in Italy, Spain, England and France.
"Our wish is to conclude an agreement now, but keep him for the rest of the season."
