Departs Lille as free agent

Bentaleb has left Lille after his contract with the club expired.

Analysis: Bentaleb made 26 Ligue 1 appearances for Lille last season, contributing two goals and two assists across 1,279 minutes, having rejoined the club in 2023 after a spell at Angers. The 31 year old defensive midfielder, a mainstay for the Algeria national team, made a memorable return from a cardiac incident during last season, scoring a goal in his first match back, and now becomes a free agent as he looks for his next club this summer.

Makes four tackles vs Austria

Bentaleb registered two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Austria.

Analysis: Bentaleb led Algeria in tackles (four) to help them earn the draw and advance to the Round of 32. He also created the second-most chances for his side during the match. That was his second start in three appearances and he will likely get the nod against Switzerland on Jul 3.
