Mohamed Benkhemassa is close to leaving Algeria for a new experience!
The Algerian international is attracting a lot of interest from several clubs inside and outside the African continent, and according to press reports, this interest has already reached the Arabian Gulf and among the Arab clubs interested in signing the player is the Qatari club Umm Salal, which has already made an offer of $2 million as an initial offer.
The defensive midfielder is valued at just €450,000 on Transfermarkt, a website that specialises in the price and value of players around the world, this double value reflects the technical value of the player and what he can offer to any team he plays for.
The Algerian midfielder has previously tested his talents abroad, featuring for Spain's Málaga and Egypt's Ismaily before returning to shine in the Algerian league with MC Alger.
Qatari side Umm Salal's offer highlights the growing interest from Gulf clubs in North African talents, particularly those who bring grit and discipline to the midfield. Reports suggest negotiations are now in the advanced stages, with only minor details left to finalize the deal.
The big question remains whether MC Alger will agree to part ways with one of their key players or if they'll attempt to convince him to continue his journey in Algeria.
