A player from Algeria could serve as an intermediary to sign Youcef Atal? The club where Ahmed Touba plays wants to secure the services of the Algerian.
At the end of his contract with Adana Demirspor, 28-year-old Youcef Atal seems ready for a change. In a season marked by one goal and two assists in 11 matches, the Algerian international (29 caps, 2 goals) has received a three-year contract extension offer from the Turkish club, led by Murat Sancak. However, the former Nice player appears uninterested in extending his stay with the Mavi Şimşekler.
Atal, who arrived at Adana last February, is attracting interest from several clubs, especially in the Süper Lig, closely monitoring his situation. Among the suitors, Besiktas has already expressed interest in the Algerian right-back. However, the Istanbul club must first free up a non-EU player slot by parting ways with Valentin Rosier, who was loaned to Nice last winter, before advancing negotiations.
But Besiktas is not alone in the race. Turkish champions Galatasaray are also closely monitoring Atal’s situation and have placed the Boghni native second on their shortlist, indicating serious interest in the Algerian defender.
Aside from the Süper Lig giants, İstanbul Başakşehir, where Ahmed Touba plays, is also in contention to secure Youcef Atal’s services. However, Başakşehir faces financial constraints that could complicate the acquisition of the Algerian international. Nevertheless, Touba’s presence, Atal’s national team teammate, could facilitate discussions and create a direct communication bridge between the player and the club.
AEK Athens is also interested in Atal, but his career plans do not seem to align with a move to Greece, reducing the club’s chances of acquiring him.
The transfer market is always full of surprises, and it remains to be seen which club will convince Youcef Atal to sign. His profile is attracting interest due to his skills and international experience, making him a prime target for many European clubs.
For now, Youcef Atal’s future remains uncertain, but one thing is certain: several top clubs are ready to compete to add this talented defender to their squad. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining where Atal will continue his career, with İstanbul Başakşehir, potentially aided by Ahmed Touba, hoping to emerge victorious.
