Algerian midfielder Houssem Mrezigue is being linked with a move from Dinamo Makhachkala to Russian Premier Liga rivals Akhmat Grozny, according to transfer data compiled on 25 December 2025.
The 25-year-old defensive midfielder, currently valued at €1.00m, is the subject of interest from Grozny as both clubs assess their options ahead of the next registration period. The reported probability of the transfer remains unclear, with databases listing it only as “?”, underlining that talks, if any, are at a speculative stage rather than advanced negotiations.
Mrezigue joined Dinamo Makhachkala in the 2024-25 campaign from Algerian champions CR Belouizdad, and his market value has returned to the €1.00m mark after fluctuating over recent seasons. There is no publicly listed contract expiry date for the Ain Arnat-born player, raising the possibility that he could become a free agent in the near future depending on his existing terms in Makhachkala.
Akhmat’s reported interest is thought to focus on Mrezigue’s profile as a right-footed holding midfielder, capable of screening the back line and dictating play from deep. Standing at 1.83m, he has built his reputation in Algeria with ES Sétif, MC Alger’s youth ranks and CR Belouizdad, and gained European experience during a loan spell with Portuguese side FC Vizela in 2023-24.
His market value history shows a steady rise during his early years at Belouizdad, peaking at €1.00m in mid-2023, dipping after his stint in Portugal and then climbing again at Dinamo. That trajectory reflects a player still seen as having room to grow, particularly in a league of the intensity of the Russian Premier Liga.
If a switch to Akhmat Grozny does materialise, it would mark another significant step in Mrezigue’s career, offering a new platform to enhance his reputation and confirm his potential as a reliable top-flight defensive midfielder.
