While his performances have caught the attention of several national team coaches, Bentaleb is taking his time to make a decision. He acknowledges the flattering interest but emphasizes that his current priority is his club career.
Algeria, in particular, has been eager to secure Bentaleb’s allegiance, with coach Valid Halilhodzic expressing interest and the Algerian Federation president, Mohamed Raouraoua, personally reaching out to him. The prospect of participating in the World Cup in Brazil is undoubtedly an enticing proposition put forward by Algeria.
However, Bentaleb also has the option to represent France, with whom he has played for the under-19s, or England. With his potential and versatility, he remains a sought-after prospect for multiple national teams.
Ultimately, the decision lies with Bentaleb, and he is expected to weigh his options carefully before making a definitive choice about his international future.
