Draghi reveals Atal’s next step

Algerian journalist Hafid Draghi confirmed that international player Youssef Atal has decided to leave his French club Nice in the upcoming winter transfer market.

“Atal does not want to wear the Nice shirt again, after he has given the club so much since joining its ranks in 2018. He finds himself almost without support because of everything that is currently happening to him,” with these words Draghi described the position of the Greens’ right-back.

The sports commentator for the Qatari beINSPORTS network published a video in which he spoke about the latest developments of the Parado Academy graduate.

Atal faces a seven-match suspension from the French League, after he expressed his solidarity with the victims of Zionist oppression in the Gaza Strip in the Palestinian territories.

The player’s problems with the French judicial authorities worsened after the Nice Public Prosecution moved last Friday to place the player in temporary prison pending investigation before he was released twenty-four hours later.

The management of the French club Nice, which is owned by the British group “Ineos”, does not oppose the idea of ​​Atal’s departure starting in the next Mercato, as it will thus avoid losing him for free next summer, that is, at the end of his contract, according to Hafid Draghi.

The 2019 African champion has some Gulf offers at the present time, according to what Draghi also discussed, and he indicated the desire of both the Saudi Al-Ahly and Qatari Al-Rayyan clubs to bring him in.

It is noteworthy that the Algerian made up for his absence from the competition recently, by participating with the national team in the matches between Somalia and Mozambique in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

This brings the total number of minutes he has played since the start of the season to 749 minutes, in the shirt of both Nice (6 matches) and the national team (5 matches).
