Islam Slimani's second spell at CR Belouizdad is turning sour. Having returned in 2024 to the club that launched his career before his move to Europe, the 38-year-old striker is unable to reach an agreement with Chabab.
Slimani has decided to take the matter to CAS to settle the dispute. The details of the disagreement have not been revealed, but the player intends to assert his rights. CAS is expected to examine the case in the coming weeks.
Islam Slimani is Algeria's all-time leading scorer with 48 goals. He has notably played for Leicester City, Newcastle and Monaco. His return to CR Belouizdad in 2024 was meant to be a culmination, but relations have deteriorated.
