Youcef Belaïli closes in on return to MC Alger

Algerian international Youcef Belaïli is reportedly close to completing a return to MC Alger after reaching a verbal agreement with the club on a two-year contract.

According to multiple reports, negotiations between the 34-year-old winger’s representatives and the Algerian champions have progressed positively, with both parties agreeing on the main terms of the deal.

An official announcement is expected in the coming days.

Return to Algerian football

If finalised, the move will see Belaïli return to the Algerian league after spending the past two seasons with Espérance Sportive de Tunis.

MC Alger have identified the experienced attacker as a key target as they strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign, with discussions reportedly advancing smoothly towards completion.

Although the agreement has not yet been officially confirmed, only the formalities are believed to remain.

Experienced addition

A return to MC Alger would reunite Belaïli with a club he left in 2024 to rejoin Espérance.

Over the course of his career, the Algeria international has established himself as one of the country’s most accomplished attacking players, known for his creativity, dribbling ability and influence in the final third.

His experience is expected to add quality and leadership to MC Alger’s squad as the club prepares for domestic and continental competitions.
