Atal, it's over

Suspended for relaying a video calling for hatred, Youcef Atal should be sold by Nice during the 2024 winter transfer window.

At the heart of the news and countless debates since he relayed a video of a Palestinian preacher who hoped for a “black day for the Jews”, Youcef Atal was first suspended by his clubOGC Nice, before the LFP disciplinary committee took the decision to suspend him for seven matches on October 25. Last week, he was even placed in police custody as part of an investigation for “apology of terrorism”.

And it is very likely that the Algerian international will no longer wear the colors of the Riviera club. According to information from nice morning this Thursday, the Gym as well as the 27-year-old right back would like a transfer during the winter transfer window in January 2024. The management of Nice and the shareholder of INEOS would not have accepted that the club found itself at the heart of such a controversy. Arriving in 2018, Atal played 115 matches in the Aiglons jersey.
