Dhayfallah Kadri: Algerian goalkeeper leaves ES Ben Aknoun to become free agent

Algerian goalkeeper Dhayfallah Kadri has left ES Ben Aknoun and become a free agent after his departure from the Ligue 1 club was finalised on 13 July 2026.

Kadri, 20, now finds himself without a club following the end of his spell with the Algerian top-flight side. The move marks a significant step in the young keeper’s career as he looks for the next opportunity after breaking into professional football in his homeland.

Born in Ain Defla on 12 September 2005, Kadri has been developing his game as a goalkeeper in Algeria and was most recently on the books at ES Ben Aknoun, who compete in the country’s top division. His current market value is listed at €25,000, underlining his status as an emerging player on the domestic scene.

Kadri’s exit from ES Ben Aknoun comes ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, leaving him free to negotiate with interested clubs without a transfer fee. His status as a free agent gives potential suitors flexibility in any move, with no contract expiry date tying him to his former team.

The Algerian goalkeeper, who is now unattached at both club and national-club level, officially completed his move away from ES Ben Aknoun on 13 July 2026.
