ALGIERS, Algeria — MC Alger have officially announced the signing of Algerian forward Youcef Belaïli, declaring the player as theirs.
The club confirmed that Belaïli has put pen to paper and is now registered with the Mouloudia. However, the situation remains complicated, as a legal battle with Tunisian giants Espérance de Tunis is expected to follow.
Espérance had previously indicated that Belaïli’s suspension had been lifted and that they had activated a contract with the player. The conflicting claims have set the stage for a dispute over his registration and contractual status.
Belaïli, an experienced and creative attacker, has been at the centre of transfer speculation in recent weeks. MC Alger’s announcement marks a significant development, but the outcome of any legal proceedings with Espérance will ultimately determine the final resolution.
Both clubs are expected to pursue their respective claims, meaning the matter could take further time to settle. For now, MC Alger have publicly confirmed the player as their own while the legal process unfolds.
