This headline is from an article that talks about the privatisation of Nice airport. I am struggling to find a natural way of translating this, any input is much appreciated. Here is the article with the headline:

a worrying/troubling bid
I think 'bid' would be the best term for 'candidature' here and I think (having skimmed the article) that 'qui interpelle' is conveying the idea that it is causing concern. However, I would probably turn the headline around to say something like
Atlantia's bid for Nice Airport is troubling
Atlantia's bid for Nice Airport is troubling

: except that neither of your options seems very "journalistic" to me! How about something like "controversial" to convey the idea you're describing?
