End of the story between Youcef Atal and OGC Nice.
The Algerian right-back, suspended by OGC Nice for having shared on his Instagram account a video of a preacher calling for “a black day on the Jews”, a few days after the unprecedented attacks by Hamas against Israel on October 7, will therefore have played his last match with the Aiglons on October 1st.
He is preparing to join Adana Demirspor in Turkey, where the transfer window is still open for a few hours this Friday evening.
Everything is settled between the two clubs, who should very quickly formalize the matter.
An interesting way out for the player, who joins the current 9th in the Turkish championship where Mario Balotelli and Nani play in particular, but also players known from Ligue 1 such as the former Parisian Edouard Michut, Andreaw Gravillon and Nabil Alioui.
Sentenced to eight months in prison in this case, he was reinstated to the professional group by OGC Nice on January 25, but had not had the opportunity to set foot on the Ligue 1 pitches again since.
He is leaving a club that he joined in 2018, and for which he played a total of 115 games in five and a half seasons, often cut short by injuries.
