Since last summer, Slimani has worn the colors of the Brazilian team Coritiba. An exotic adventure but one which should not last forever even if he still has one year of contract left. His team was relegated, and he wants to continue playing at the highest level. Its objective is to remain competitive until 2026 in order to participate in the next World Cup with Algeria.
Slimani’s record in Ligue 1 is far from ridiculous. He has scored 14 goals in 64 appearances in the French top flight. Most having been successful under the tunic of AS Monaco.
