In a tense situation at CR Bélouizdad, Islam Slimani could return to Europe during the winter transfer window.
Unhappy with his status as a replacement at CRB, the club to which he returned last summer, the 36-year-old striker recently created a big controversy by refusing to appear on the match sheet against Stade d'Abidjan in African Champions League (1-0).
Now at odds with his leaders and his coach Abdelkader Amrani, the top scorer in the history of the Algerian selection has just calmed things down and returned to training. But the possibility of an early departure this winter is far from being ruled out. To bounce back where?
2 destinations in Europe for Slimani
On this subject, The Gazette du Fennec brings new elements this Wednesday. Our colleagues explain that the attacker's representatives are working to find a new base for him. With two destinations returning as priority. On the one hand, the Swiss championship, where he has never played. No club is mentioned in particular but LGDF considers this destination as “probable“. However, it is above all the other possibility that our colleagues are developing, the one leading to Como, in Serie A.
16th in the ranking, the club owned by his ex-teammate at AS Monaco, Cesc Fabrgeas, with whom he had already been announced in contact last summer, would still be sensitive to the profile of the Algerian and would consider trying it again this winter. Despite a disappointing first part of the season (only 9 matches played, 3 goals scored) and an absence from the selection since the last CANSlimani visibly continues to maintain a certain popularity in Europe. At the start of 2024, after a short experience at Coritiba in Brazil, Fennec joined Mechelen in Belgium at the same period, with satisfactory performances (3 goals and 4 assists in 13 matches). Repeated a year later?
