Where will Youcef Belaïli land next? That’s the question on the minds of Algerian supporters. The latest news reveals that the Egyptian club Zamalek has rejected the Algerian forward due to his financial demands.
Having been unemployed for three months now, Youcef Belaïli has yet to find a new destination to reignite his career. Transfer rumors are swirling during this summer transfer window, leaving Algerian fans wondering where the Oran native will end up.
Despite his setbacks in France with Stade Brestois and AC Ajaccio, Belaïli has not lacked suitors. Several Algerian, Arab, and Turkish clubs are interested in acquiring the left winger of the national team. The latest news indicates that Belaïli engaged in negotiations with an Egyptian club, but they turned him down due to his financial demands.
Reportedly, Zamalek SC was the club in question. According to Egyptian media, negotiations between the two parties did not reach an agreement, primarily concerning the financial aspect.
Belaïli reportedly demanded an annual salary of 800,000 dollars, a figure that the Zamalek officials refused to meet.
It’s worth noting that the player also engaged in talks with ES Tunis and WA Casablanca but failed to reach an agreement with them due to his financial demands. Now, it remains to be seen which club will be willing to offer the salary requested by the Oran-born player.
