Mundo Deportivo: “Youcef Atal May Play With Real Madrid This Winter”

Algerian international defender Youcef Atal is on a three-man list to play with Real Madrid from next winter, Spanish press reports said on Friday.

Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo said that the coach Zinedine Zidane, who is not convinced by the right-back Álvaro Odriozola, is planning to bring the French OGC Nice’s right full-back, Youcef Atal, or AC Milan’s Davide Calabria or Lukas Klostermann, who plays for the German club Leipzig, from the opening of the winter transfer season next January.

Atal’s levels (23 years) have prompted more than one club in France, Italy, and England to pay attention to his services, amid the decision of OGC Nice’s management to refuse getting rid of the services of Algiers Paradou school’s graduate Youcef Atal.

Atal played with Nice in seven matches this season, all in the French League Championship, scoring a goal and making a goal, while he participated in 16 international caps with Algeria, and participated in four games in the last African Nations Cup in Egypt, where the Desert Warriors won the cup and obtained the second star of the continent.

If Atal joins the White Castle, his task will never be easy, given the royal administration’s desire to recapture Moroccan Achraf Hakimi, who is on loan to the German Borussia Dortmund until June, and Danny Carvajal on the right as well.
