Doukha Eyes European Move as JS Kabylie Resist Exit Plans
Uncertainty looms over the future of Azzedine Doukha at JS Kabylie, with the club’s first-choice goalkeeper reportedly keen to pursue a move to Europe at the end of the season. However, his ambitions appear to be clashing with the intentions of the club’s hierarchy.
According to Le Buteur, JSK president Mohand Chérif Hannachi is determined to keep the Algerian international for at least one more season, and is unwilling to sanction a departure without resistance. The club views Doukha as a key figure in their current setup and is reluctant to lose him—especially without securing a replacement.
Doukha, however, seems set on seeking a new challenge abroad. The 28-year-old, who joined JS Kabylie in 2014, has made clear to those close to him that he hopes to sign with a European club during the summer transfer window.
The situation is now shaping up to be a tug-of-war between player and club. While Doukha’s aspirations reflect a desire to test himself at a higher level, JS Kabylie’s stance signals that any move will likely involve tense negotiations.
Whether the goalkeeper is granted his wish or forced to honour his contract remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: JS Kabylie could be facing a summer of off-pitch distractions as they attempt to hold on to one of their key assets.
