Trying to sell a 4.5 generation fighter, just when 5th generation is about to proliferate, is a loosing proposition.
If I was a betting man, the only eurocanard I would put my money on, is the Saab Gripen. Just because a relatively cheap jet, designed to be maintained by conscripts, has a business case in third world countries, that wont be facing off against 5 gen adversaries.

The Gripen is a really nice aircraft but the E and F varients will cost as much as an F-16 . maybe more if there are cost over runs.
Not sure there is a better single engine fighter option for small air forces than an updated F-16 Block 60+, if you can get them
