French Ligue 1 Clubs Eye Khaledi Following Super Cup Display
Algerian international Ahmed Khaledi, captain of USM Alger, has garnered attention from French Ligue 1 clubs following his standout performance, including a decisive goal, in the recent African Super Cup. His impressive displays for USMA have reportedly led to inquiries about his contractual status.
Algerian international Ahmed Khaledi, captain of USM Alger, has reportedly attracted the attention of several clubs in the French Ligue 1. This interest follows his notable performances while playing for USMA this season, particularly during continental competitions. Algerian media reports indicate that French clubs are monitoring his progress and considering a potential transfer during the upcoming winter window.
Khaledi's impact was particularly evident in the recent African Super Cup, where USM Alger secured a 3-1 victory against South African club Mamelodi Sundowns in Pretoria. The 28-year-old midfielder scored a distinguished goal in the final match and was subsequently named man of the match, earning a rating of 8.6 out of 10. His contributions have also been instrumental in USMA's broader success, including leading the team to win the Algerian Cup twice consecutively, the CAF Confederation Cup, and the African Super Cup.
While the specific French clubs have not been publicly named, confirmed reports from Algerian journalist Nassim Talbi, affiliated with beIN Sports, indicate that some have already made inquiries regarding Khaledi's contractual standing with USM Alger. Khaledi is currently under contract with USMA until June 30, 2029, having joined the club at the beginning of the 2024-2025 season from Al-Kuwait SC. Any potential transfer would thus depend on reaching an agreement with his current club.
