Elias Benkara is an 18-year-old central defender whose contract with Borussia Dortmund is expiring. Benkara plays for Dortmund's B-team in the German fourth division and was a German youth international but recently opted to represent Algeria. While Borussia Dortmund wants to extend his contract, the player will only sign a new deal if he is provided with a plan for his progression to the first team. Anderlecht is also interested in the defender, and it has been reported that Feyenoord has also made contact. Due to his contract situation, Benkara could potentially leave on a free transfer.
