Libyan international defender Ali Youssef has emerged as a sought-after talent following a standout season with Tunisian side Club Africain.
The 23-year-old, who joined the club from Al Ahli Benghazi in August 2024, has been instrumental in bolstering the team’s defense.
His performances have not gone unnoticed, attracting interest from European clubs, notably French Ligue 1 outfits RC Lens and Angers SCO.
Youssef’s impact has been significant since his arrival at Club Africain.
In the 2024–25 season, he has made 21 league appearances, contributing four goals—a remarkable feat for a central defender.
His aerial prowess and defensive solidity have been key assets for the team. Club Africain have reportedly received multiple offers for Youssef.
One notable bid came from a fellow Tunisian league club, proposing $1.4 million for his services.
However, the club’s management values the Libyan defender at $3 million, reflecting his importance to the team and potential for further growth.
Youssef’s contract with Club Africain extends until June 2026, providing the club with a strong negotiating position.
His consistent performances have not only solidified his place in the club’s lineup but have also earned him recognition on the international stage, with 15 caps for the Libyan national team.
