French-Algerian midfielder Mayssam Benama has officially left Valencia B and is now without a club after his contract with the Spanish side came to an end, confirming his status as a free agent following a completed move from the Segunda Federación outfit to the “Without Club” pool on 2026-04-27 with no transfer fee involved. The 21-year-old central midfielder, currently valued at €200k, now enters the open market, free to negotiate and sign with a new employer from 2026-04-27 until the end of his current unemployed spell on 2026-04-27.
The change of status marks a significant turning point for Benama, who departs the reserve ranks of Valencia CF after a spell in Spain’s Segunda Federación – Group III. His move to being unattached is registered with no fee, underlining a straightforward contractual expiry rather than a sale, and leaves him in an intriguing position as a young dual-national prospect with professional minutes in a competitive European environment but no club commitment as of 2026-04-27.
Born in Tours and holding both French and Algerian nationality, Benama has primarily operated as a central midfielder, listed in his main role as “Midfield – Central Midfield” and favouring his right foot. Standing 1.77m tall, he developed his game in Spain with Valencia B, gaining experience in a demanding, tactically focused league known for its blend of technical quality and physical intensity. The Segunda Federación – Group III has often been a platform for emerging talents hoping to step into senior top-flight squads, and Benama’s time there will be an important reference point for potential suitors.
While his new registration lists him simply under “Without Club” and “N/A” for competition and league, the shift effectively opens up the possibility of a move abroad or a return closer to home for the French-born midfielder. With no active contract and a market value set at €200k, clubs in France, Algeria and beyond could view him as a low-risk, potentially high-upside signing, particularly given his age and the positional profile he offers in the centre of the pitch.
The end of his Valencia B spell also means that his immediate future is no longer tied to Spain, and the next contract he signs could define the trajectory of his early senior years. Whether he opts for a club in France, follows a pathway into Algerian football, or continues his development in another European league, Benama’s availability as a free agent provides sporting directors with flexibility in terms of both transfer structure and squad planning.
At just 21, with professional experience in the Spanish system and dual-national background linking him to two vibrant football cultures, the confirmed move out of Valencia B and into free agency now places the onus on Benama and interested clubs to decide the next step. His next contract will not only determine where he plays but could become the foundational chapter in shaping his long-term career, reputation and international prospects.
