The football future of Adam Ounas remains in Qatar. After terminating his contract with Al-Sadd, the talented Algerian born in 1996 quickly found a new destination, officially signing with Al-Sailiya, a club that in recent years has established itself as one of the most ambitious realities in the Qatar Stars League.

Ounas, who already has international experience in Italy, France, and North Africa, thus continues his career in Middle Eastern football, also reuniting with another familiar face from European football, Anwar El-Ghazi, who also recently joined the Qatari club.

A career between Europe and the Middle East

Raised in France, Ounas made a name for himself with his technical talent and his ability to easily beat defenders. In 2017, he transferred to Napoli, where he made appearances in Serie A and in European competitions. In Italy, he also wore the jerseys of Cagliari and Crotone before embarking on new adventures abroad.

After some inconsistent seasons, he chose the Qatari league, where he played for Al-Sadd last season. Now, with his move to Al-Sailiya, Ounas aims to relaunch himself in a competitive but less demanding environment compared to the main European leagues.

The goal: revival and consistency

At 29 years old, the former Algerian international still has time to write important chapters in his career. His speed and technique remain valuable assets for a team aiming to consolidate its position at the top of the table in Qatar.

“The Al-Sailiya project convinced me. Here I can best express my qualities and contribute to a team that wants to grow,” Ounas reportedly said at the time of signing.

With this new adventure, the former Napoli player adds another chapter to a football journey marked by talent, flashes of great football, and the ongoing search for definitive recognition.
