Elyaz Zidane attracts interest from France and Algeria

Elyaz Zidane, the 20-year-old son of Zinedine Zidane, is attracting significant attention following his performances with Red Star in Ligue 2. After a period with Real Betis's reserve team, his move to France has seen his market value rise from €100,000 to €200,000.

His development has drawn interest from French youth national team selectors, with coach Bernard Diomède noting his potential to reach the highest level. This interest creates a complex situation for the Algerian Football Federation (FAF), which is monitoring the player due to his family origins. While the FAF hopes to convince him to represent Algeria, no definitive decision has been made by the player. His brother, Luca Zidane, has already chosen to play for Algeria.
