Al Gharafa Close to Signing Ismaël Bennacer

Al Gharafa SC is close to reaching an agreement with Algerian international Ismaël Bennacer, as both parties have entered advanced negotiations to finalize the transfer during the current summer transfer window, taking advantage of the player's stalled move to Al Shamal.

Ismael Ben Nasser was on the verge of joining Al-Shamal, having traveled earlier to the Qatari capital Doha to finalize his transfer procedures. However, negotiations stalled in the final stages due to disagreements over certain contractual terms, leading to the deal's collapse.

According to the latest information, Al Gharafa has seized this development and has entered negotiations vigorously, with notable progress being made in discussions with the player, amid a mutual desire from both parties to conclude the agreement in the coming days.

Al Gharafa is now the frontrunner to secure the signature of the Algerian star, awaiting the completion of final details and the official announcement of the deal during the ongoing summer transfer window.

The Qatari club is looking to bolster its midfield with a player who has extensive experience on both the European and international stages. Ismaël Bennacer is considered one of the key pillars of the Algerian national team in recent years, and he is expected to provide a strong technical addition to the team once his transfer is officially completed.
