130 days out for Hamid Djaouchi after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. CS Constantine will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Abdelmalek Necir puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at CS Constantine, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

CS Constantine go back to the board over Edlin Essang-Matouti

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 Edlin Essang-Matouti enough to be asked twice.

Adama Bojang turns down CS Constantine

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Stade de Reims keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

CS Constantine make their move for Edlin Essang-Matouti

$99.0K on the table at MC Oran. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

An offer of $100.0K for Oualaa Moundhir Bouzekri

CS Constantine have gone to MC Alger with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market17 Aug 2026

Idir Mokeddem is a CS Constantine player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Tempers go at CS Constantine

Tosin Omoyele 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Messala Merbah falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

CS Constantine turn down CR Belouizdad for Mélo N'Diaye

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Ibrahim Hachoud would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Ibrahim Hachoud is living that version at CS Constantine, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at CS Constantine

Tosin Omoyele and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Stade de Reims tell CS Constantine: Oumar Diakité 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.

One of our own: Rafik Ounas joins the CS Constantine first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Rafik Ounas is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Omar Halliche joins the CS Constantine first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Omar Halliche is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Messala Merbah signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Messala Merbah and CS Constantine agree another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at CS Constantine

Tosin Omoyele and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Messala Merbah falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

CS Constantine rebuffed over Abderrahim Deghmoum

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. El Masry have kept their man, and CS Constantine go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad3 Aug 2026

This league is too small for Ahmed Hassan

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. CS Constantine will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between CS Constantine and Messala Merbah

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Nassim L'Ghoul's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

CS Constantine ask about Oumar Diakité

A loan enquiry to Stade de Reims: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

CS Constantine try to borrow Alexis Mirbach

FC Nantes have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.
