Lille Opens Door for Algerian Nabil Bentaleb's Departure
The future of Algerian international Nabil Bentaleb with French club Lille has become unclear, as the newspaper L'Équipe revealed that the club's management, led by Olivier Létang, does not oppose parting ways with him before the summer transfer window closes.
The newspaper indicated that Lille has decided to open the door for the departure of two midfield players, namely Nabil Bentaleb and André Gomes, while retaining other players who are attracting interest from Premier League clubs, such as Ngalaile Mukao and Alexandru.
Bentaleb, whose contract with Lille runs until the summer of 2026, participated as a substitute in the season opener against Brest, playing only five minutes, which reflects the difficulty of securing a starting position this season in the coach's lineup.
The midfielder of the "Greens" has his sights set on ensuring participation in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, which forces him to seek a club that offers him more playing time to enhance his chances with the national team under the leadership of Vladimir Petkovic.
It seems that all parties may agree on the idea of departure, as Lille seeks to benefit financially from selling the player before his contract expires, while Bentaleb is looking for a new experience that will restore his continuity on the pitch.
