Algerian winger Adam Ounas, currently a free agent following the end of his contract with Al-Sadd, has been involved in various transfer negotiations.

Initially, interest was reported from Italian Serie B club US Avellino, which sought him as an offensive reinforcement. Simultaneously, MC Alger in Algeria expressed interest, though negotiations were initially hampered by the player’s salary demands.

Subsequent developments show that while Ounas and MC Alger reached an agreement in principle regarding a monthly salary of 80,000 euros, the transfer has stalled. The impasse is due to Ounas requesting an upfront payment of seven monthly salaries, totaling 560,000 euros. MC Alger management has stated this request exceeds their internal policies, which typically limit advances to 20% of a contract's value. Ounas continues to consider other options, including opportunities in Qatar or a return to European football.
