Ilyes Chetti asks to leave USM Alger

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Paradou tell USM Alger: Taha Yassine Tahar is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal due for a USM Alger medical

Everything agreed with Stade Rennais, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Too dear: USM Alger walk away from Adel Bouzida

$83.0K was the most the club would pay and Paradou were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market31 Aug 2026

ES Setif watching Safi Eddine Atmania

The interest is real enough to have reached print. USM Alger have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Achref Abada signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Achref Abada and USM Alger agree another 3 years.

Market31 Aug 2026

The shop window has Houssemeddine Ghacha in it

USM Alger have let the market know Houssemeddine Ghacha can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Looking ahead31 Aug 2026

Raouf Benguit faces his old club

Paradou next, and one man in the USM Alger dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Dramane Kamagaté wants to know why he earns less

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and USM Alger have no good answer.

Market17 Aug 2026

USM Alger turn down MC Alger for Oussama Benbout

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

USM Alger go back to the board over Yacine Goudjil

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $105.7K — a club that wants Yacine Goudjil enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

No deal for Abdelhamid Dris at that price

USM Alger offered $570.0K; USM Khenchela said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at USM Alger

Zakaria Draoui was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Door shut on Luís Hemir

USM Alger asked and Clermont Foot said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at USM Alger training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ilyes Chetti is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
