Chabab offered chance to sign Algerian goalkeeper Abderrahmane Medjadel

Chabab have been presented with the opportunity to secure the services of ASO shot-stopper Abderrahmane Medjadel, though the move faces uncertainty due to the club’s current goalkeeping plans.

According to sources close to the negotiations, Medjadel has been put forward as a potential signing and is eager to make the switch, believing he can add value to the squad.

However, Chabab’s technical staff appear unconvinced about altering the current pecking order between the posts.

Head coach Saed Ramovic is understood to be firmly committed to his existing goalkeeping options.

With Zeghba established as first choice, Ramovic continues to view Chaâl as the reliable deputy, leaving little room for another arrival in that position at this stage of the season.

Despite this, Medjadel’s name remains on the table.

The 27-year-old, who has gained valuable experience in Algerian football with ASO, has attracted interest thanks to his consistent performances and leadership qualities.

For his part, Medjadel is reportedly enthusiastic about a new challenge and prepared to push for the move if Chabab’s hierarchy gives the green light.

The situation highlights the delicate balance within the squad’s structure.

Introducing a third senior goalkeeper could disrupt the current dynamic, while at the same time, strengthening depth between the posts is not being dismissed entirely.

Ramovic, however, appears to be prioritising stability, especially with upcoming fixtures requiring focus and cohesion across the squad.

For Medjadel, the prospect of joining Chabab would represent a significant step in his career, offering the chance to compete for honours at one of the country’s most prominent clubs.

Yet the decision ultimately rests with Ramovic and the club’s management, who must weigh the potential benefits of his arrival against the confidence they already have in Chaâl as backup.

As talks stand, no formal agreement has been reached.

Chabab’s management are keeping the proposal under consideration, but with the head coach standing firm on his position, a breakthrough appears unlikely in the immediate term.

Whether circumstances shift later in the season may depend on form, fitness, or unforeseen developments in the goalkeeping department.

Until then, Medjadel’s future remains tied to ASO, even as speculation over a potential transfer continues.

The coming weeks are expected to determine whether Chabab reopens the door to negotiations or maintains their current course, leaving Medjadel to wait for another opportunity to secure a high-profile move.
