ALGIERS, ALGERIA — Algerian international winger Youcef Belaïli is on the verge of returning to MC Alger (Mouloudia Club d'Alger) after negotiations with Tunisian club Espérance Sportive de Tunis broke down.
Despite ES Tunis making every effort to retain the 34-year-old, the player opted not to attend scheduled medical examinations and has instead chosen to finalise his return to Algerian football.
Proven Track Record with Mouloudia
Belaïli previously enjoyed a highly successful spell with MC Alger during the 2023/24 season, where he netted 16 goals in 26 appearances and played a pivotal role in helping the club secure the Algerian Ligue 1 title.
His experience, creativity, and goal threat make him a significant addition as MC Alger look to build on recent domestic success.
Next Steps
With personal terms understood to be agreed, the signing is expected to be officially confirmed in the coming days. This move represents a homecoming for one of Algeria’s most talented attackers as he enters the latter stages of his career.
MC Alger fans will be delighted to welcome back a player who delivered silverware during his previous stint. Welcome home, Youcef Belaïli!
