Mohamed Alaeddine Belaribi: ASO Chlef complete free transfer for Algeria defensive midfielder from MB Rouissat

ASO Chlef have completed the signing of Algerian defensive midfielder Mohamed Alaeddine Belaribi from MB Rouissat on a free transfer, with the move officially registered on 2026-07-04 and his contract running until 2028-06-30.

The 28-year-old, who is valued at around 200k according to the latest market data, arrives from fellow Ligue 1 side MB Rouissat and is already listed as an ASO Chlef player. The deal sees him remain in Algerias top flight, with both his former and current clubs competing in Ligue 1, rather than moving abroad.

Belaribi joins ASO Chlef after a short spell at MB Rouissat, whom he joined from MC El Bayadh. His market value at Rouissat was updated to 200k shortly before the transfer, underlining that Chlef have secured a player rated as a six-figure asset without paying a fee. The transfer data records the move explicitly as a free transfer, with no add-ons or additional payment details indicated.

Born in Oran on 17 Oct 1997, Belaribi has spent his entire professional career in Algerian football. A specialist in defensive midfield, he is listed as playing primarily in the holding role at the base of midfield. There is no indication in the data of him being deployed in other positions, nor of him holding any nationality other than Algerian.

His career path reflects a steady climb through the domestic game. Before his time at MB Rouissat, Belaribi represented MC El Bayadh, having previously played for SKAF Khemis Miliana and HB Chelghoum Laid. Earlier in his career he had spells at JS Kabylie and ASM Oran, both in Algeria, making the switch from ASM Oran to Kabylie before moving on through a series of domestic transfers.

The available market value history shows his stock rising significantly during his time at HB Chelghoum Laid, where his valuation jumped from 100,000 to 225,000 in less than a year. A later spell at SKAF Khemis Miliana coincided with a recorded value of zero, but his valuation recovered at MC El Bayadh and then again at MB Rouissat, where it climbed back to the 200k mark shortly before ASO Chlef completed the move.

No competitive match data, recent performances or detailed season statistics are provided in the available records, and there is no indication of international appearances beyond his domestic club commitments. The data also does not specify any prior or future contract expiry dates that would make him a free agent beyond this move, only confirming that the switch to ASO Chlef was completed as a free transfer.

With Belaribi now under contract at ASO Chlef from 2026-07-04 to 2028-06-30, the coming seasons will show whether the club can capitalise on his experience across multiple Ligue 1 sides and a fluctuating but generally upward market valuation to solidify their midfield options in Algerias top flight.
