According to the media outlet Compétition, a colossal naturalization offer has been made to Yacine Abed's entourage. The 17-year-old player, who already plays for Al-Ahli SC, is being courted by the Qatari federation.

Abed had left an Algerian gathering last September, sparking a controversy that had partially died down. This new information reignites debates about the exodus of young African talents to Gulf countries.

No official confirmation has been given by the parties involved. The Algerian Federation remains silent on this sensitive matter.
