Islam Slimani, the Algerian striker who has been performing well with CR Belouizdad and the Algerian national team, has drawn interest from Sporting Lisbon in Portugal. An agent reportedly contacted Slimani, informing him about Sporting Lisbon’s interest in acquiring his services.
Expressing his thoughts on the potential move, Slimani revealed that Sporting Lisbon would be a dream for him, considering it is a prominent European club and Portugal boasts an excellent football championship. The striker is familiar with Portugal through his compatriot Hilal Soudani, who plays for Vitoria Guimaraes. Soudani has shared positive insights about the Portuguese league with Slimani.
While recovering from a knee operation, Slimani is eager to make a quick return with an eye on the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (CAN 2013). Sporting Lisbon’s interest adds a new dimension to Slimani’s future prospects, and the striker seems open to the possibility of a move to the Portuguese club.
