This comes after reports confirmed Nantes’s interest in contracting with Youssef, who is a professional at Tunisian club Club Africain, which has welcomed the player’s departure.
Reports on Friday indicated that the deal involves the transfer of Ali Youssef (24 years old) to French club Nantes for 340,000 euros, while other reports suggested the value of the deal reaches half a million euros, and that a preliminary agreement has been reached with the management of Club Africain regarding the transfer.

It is worth noting that Ali Youssef joined Club Africain in the summer of 2024, coming from Al-Ahli Benghazi. His contract expires at the end of the current season, which prompted the Tunisian club’s management to agree to sell him in order to gain financially rather than lose him for free at the end of the season, especially as he strongly desired to play professionally in Europe.
