MC Alger are set to part ways with Ivorian striker Kipré Zunon as the club looks to free up a foreign player slot during the winter transfer window.
A meeting was held at the club’s headquarters in Zéralda between President Hadj Redjem, Zunon, and his agent, after which the club officially proposed an amicable termination of the player’s contract.
The decision is reportedly at the request of South African coach Rulani Mokwena, who expressed concerns over Zunon’s recurring injury problems.
The striker has struggled to consistently perform due to physical fragility, falling short of expectations on the pitch.
Sources indicate that any agreement is contingent on financial terms.
Zunon’s representative has signaled support for a separation, provided the player receives all contractual entitlements.
The resolution of these matters is expected in the coming hours.
MC Alger’s management is keen to accelerate Zunon’s exit in order to complete the signing of Mauritanian international Sidi Bouna Amar, who is targeted to strengthen the club’s attack for the remainder of the season.
The move would allow the club to balance squad requirements while addressing limitations caused by injuries and underperformance.
Zunon joined MC Alger with high expectations, but a combination of fitness issues and inconsistent form has prevented him from establishing himself as a key figure in the squad.
An amicable separation would allow both parties to move forward without conflict, while giving Zunon an opportunity to pursue playing time elsewhere.
As negotiations continue over financial settlements, the next few days will be decisive.
The club hopes to finalize the departure swiftly to integrate their new signing before the transfer window closes, ensuring the team is strengthened for upcoming domestic and continental challenges.
