Algeria forward Adam Ounas attracts Serie B interest as Avellino consider summer move

Adam Ounas could make a return to Italian football after Serie B club Avellino identified the Algerian international as a potential signing following his departure from Al-Sadd in Qatar.

The 29-year-old forward has been without a club since ending his spell in Qatar, but his future has attracted attention from several teams, including Algerian giants MC Alger and now ambitious Italian second-tier side Avellino.

According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà, Avellino have placed Ounas on their shortlist and are exploring the possibility of bringing him in to strengthen their attacking options.

However, reports from Italy suggest that both sporting and financial factors could make negotiations difficult, despite the club’s interest in the former Napoli player.

Ounas remains a familiar figure in Italian football after previous spells with Napoli and Cagliari, where he built a positive reputation before moving to Qatar.

His experience in Serie A is considered one of his main advantages as he looks for the next stage of his career.

The Algerian attacker’s ability to operate on both wings and also play behind a striker has reportedly attracted the attention of Avellino coach Alessandro Nesta, who is preparing a squad capable of challenging for promotion to Serie A.

Meanwhile, MC Alger have also been following Ounas’ situation for several weeks as they look to bring the player back to Algeria.

However, the Algerian club is facing difficulties due to the player’s financial demands, which have become a major issue in their attempts to reach an agreement.

With interest coming from both Italy and Algeria, Ounas is taking time to evaluate his options before making a decision about his future.

The former Napoli winger is expected to carefully consider the next step in his career as he searches for a new challenge.
