Not going: Seif Benrabah stays at JS Kabylie
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” MB Rouissat had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

JS Kabylie go back to the board over Abdallah Bendouma
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $500.0K — a club that wants Abdallah Bendouma enough to be asked twice.

Omar Bensebaini steps up from the JS Kabylie academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Omar Bensebaini has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

JS Kabylie promote Said Ounas from within
