Algerian national team goalkeeper Luka Zidane has reportedly garnered significant interest from several European clubs following his impressive performances at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. His displays have made him a sought-after name in the upcoming transfer window.
Zidane’s strong showing with the ‘Fennecs’ included keeping three consecutive clean sheets during the group stage. Despite conceding two goals in the quarter-final match against Nigeria, which saw Algeria’s elimination, his overall performance was widely praised.
Reports indicate that several European clubs have been impressed by Zidane’s commanding presence and crucial saves. While the Algerian squad’s journey in the tournament ended prematurely, Zidane’s individual brilliance did not go unnoticed.
Zidane is currently under contract with Granada CF, playing in the Spanish Liga 2, until the summer of 2027. However, interest from abroad could see him move before then.
Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb is reportedly leading the race to sign the Algerian goalkeeper. The presence of other Algerian players in their squad, potentially facilitating his integration into the team, is said to be a factor.
The Croatian club is reportedly preparing an official offer. Luka Zidane’s strong AFCON showing has seemingly opened new doors for him in his professional career, potentially making him one of the most prominent Algerian players to make a European move in the near future.
