Ittihad Tanger has formally denied rumors suggesting an agreement was in place with 37-year-old Algerian centre-forward Islam Slimani for the upcoming summer transfer window. The Moroccan club's vice-president, Yassine Temsamani, confirmed that there is no agreement with the player and the club is not currently in discussions with him. His statement came after several recent reports on social media and some specialized platforms claimed the Algerian international's arrival was imminent, prompting numerous reactions from supporters. Slimani is a free agent after his contract with CFR Cluj was terminated, and Ittihad Tanger's management wants to end the speculation as they prepare for the transfer market. The striker has 102 caps and 47 goals for Algeria, and has a current market value of €300k, according to Transfermarkt.
