As the winter transfer window draws to a close at midnight tonight, it is anticipated that five members of the Algerian national team will undergo transfers to new clubs, with the hope of establishing themselves in fresh environments that secure their positions in the national squad.
Leading this group is Youcef Atal, as his current club, Nice, has decided not to allow him to participate in the remaining rounds of the season.
The Ligue 1 side has urged the talented full-back to explore opportunities with a new team.
It is expected that Atal will sign with a Turkish club in the upcoming hours.
Meanwhile, Badr Benoun has opted to accept an offer from Lorient, the struggling French club currently grappling with a low standing in the league.
This move provides Benoun with the chance to secure ample playing time.
Said Benrahma, the English Premier League player from West Ham, appears poised to join Lyon on loan, similar to Benoun’s arrangement.
Additionally, Islam Slimani has chosen to ply his trade in Belgium following the relegation of his team, Coritiba, to the Brazilian second division.
Lastly, Baghdad Bounedjah might find his new playing ground in Saudi Arabia through a potential move to Al Shabab, a club exhibiting significant interest in securing his services.
