Youcef Atal, the talented right-back of the Algerian national team, is attracting growing interest from several clubs, both in Europe and in Saudi Arabia. Leading the pack of contenders is Al-Ahli, the current club of Riyad Mahrez, captain of the Algerian national team.
Atal’s contract with Demirspor is set to expire at the end of this season, sparking a real race to secure the services of this promising player. Mahrez, eager to see his compatriot play alongside him, is actively pushing for a signing at Al-Ahli.
The year 2023 hasn’t been smooth sailing for Atal. He went through a tough period with Nice, his current club based in the south of France. The club sanctioned him for posting a video showing solidarity with Palestinians persecuted by Israel, sparking media controversy and tensions.
Despite these obstacles, Atal remains a reliable asset on the field, drawing the attention of numerous clubs. Al-Ahli, with Mahrez at the helm, seems particularly keen to bolster its squad with the Algerian player. Reliable sources indicate that Mahrez fervently desires Atal’s arrival, seeing him as a major asset for the upcoming season.
The interest from European and Saudi clubs in Atal highlights his talent and potential. His ability to overcome challenges and maintain performance despite controversies speaks to his resilience. A signing at Al-Ahli could not only offer him a new opportunity to shine alongside Mahrez but also strengthen cohesion within the Algerian national team.
The end of the season will be decisive for the future of Youcef Atal, as negotiations intensify and clubs compete to convince him. One thing is certain, his choice will have a significant impact on his career and on the dynamics of the Algerian team.
