Zinedine Ferhat, the former Algerian international, is very close to returning to the ranks of CR Belouizdad in a free transfer deal after the end of his contract with French club Angers.

Despite receiving official offers from several Algerian clubs, most notably JS Kabylie and CR Belouizdad, the player has informed the club officials that he gives absolute priority to his former team, which significantly increases the likelihood of finalizing the deal in the coming hours.

This move comes as part of CR Belouizdad's management efforts to strengthen the team's squad during the ongoing summer transfer window, where they are also working on securing a deal with a Libyan striker whose identity has not yet been revealed.

It is worth mentioning that Ferhat is considered one of the most prominent Algerian talents who has played in Europe in recent years, possessing a remarkable experience in the French league with several clubs including Nîmes and Angers.
