In a surprising and striking move in the transfer market of the Iraqi league, Amanat Baghdad Club officially announced its contract with former Algerian international star Sofiane Feghouli, in a deal described as the 'deal of the season' due to the player's rich football history and extensive professional experience in European and Arab leagues.

Feghouli is considered one of the most prominent names representing Algerian football in the last decade, having played for several major European clubs and achieved remarkable successes, most notably representing Valencia in Spain and West Ham in England, before moving to the Turkish giant Galatasaray, where he excelled and won several domestic titles.

Feghouli also contributed to his national team's historic victory in the Africa Cup of Nations 2019 held in Egypt, playing a pivotal role in the journey of the "Greens" during the tournament. He was also a member of the Algerian national team that participated in the 2014 World Cup held in Brazil, leaving a strong mark in terms of performance and fighting spirit.

The 35-year-old Algerian star possesses significant international experience and high professionalism, making his joining Amanat Baghdad a qualitative leap for the team on both media and technical levels, especially since having a player of this caliber in the Iraqi league could open the door for similar deals in the future and enhance the image of the competition both locally and internationally.

According to circulating information, the value of the deal was about 200,000 euros, which is one of the highest financial contracts in the club's history, reflecting the seriousness of the club's management in competing strongly in the upcoming season, both in terms of results and fan and media presence.
