Algeria Football – A young Franco-Algerian, courted by France and Algeria, could soon make a crucial choice for his club future.
The young Franco-Algerian prodigy, Yanis Sellami, seems to be getting closer to a contract extension with Olympique de Marseille. According to several sources close to the matter, this extension is on track and should be finalized in the coming days. The 19-year-old winger, who stood out within the Marseille team, is attracting more and more attention, both nationally and internationally.
With the new project initiated by the coach of the Algeria team, Vladimir Petkovic, the question of Sellami's international future becomes a priority. Currently, the French-Algerian is eligible to play for both the French team and Algeria, and this situation could become a crucial point for both federations. The Algerian Football Federation (FAF), eager to strengthen its team with promising young talents, could quickly take action. Indeed, discussions with Yanis Sellami's entourage are planned in order to convince the latter to choose Algeria rather than France, for his international career.
Algeria, already qualified for CAN 2025, aims to strengthen its selection with young and talented players, and Sellami represents a strategic target. Although he has already been observed by France's youth teams, the fact that he is of Algerian origin constitutes an important asset in the FAF's approach.
The outcome of this case could have a significant impact on the future of the Algerian team, which is counting on players like Sellami to consolidate its sporting future. The next few weeks will therefore be crucial for the evolution of this file.
