In a quick turnaround in his career in Brazil, Islam Slimani, the veteran Algerian team goalscorer, already appears ready to bid farewell to Brazilian football, just four months after his arrival. The descent of his recent club to the second division would have encouraged the 35-year-old player to consider a new chapter in his career, according to information from “La Vague Verte”, a media relaying information related to Algerian players.

Despite his advanced age, the former Leicester striker remains a sought-after figure in the transfer market, and it appears his return to France is imminent.

At present, the identity of the potential club remains in the shadows, but details are expected to be revealed to the public in the near future. The same source indicates that Fennec will join the grouping of the Algerian national team today at the National Technical Center of Sidi Moussa in preparation for the upcoming CAN.
With a recent past at clubs such as AS Monaco, Olympique Lyonnais and Stade Brestois, Slimani could make a notable return to France, exactly one year after leaving Brest to join Anderlecht during the last winter transfer window.
