Adem Zorgane, who was rumoured to be in Europe this summer, will finally land in the Belgian league, at Charleroi. According to our information, the transfer of the native of Setif is based on the signature of a four-season contract with the Zebras.
End of the Adem Zorgane story. The nugget of Paradou officially joins Sporting Charleroi, which concluded the 2020/2021 season in thirteenth place in the Jupiler League. According to our information, the player trained in the PAC-JMG academy joins Belgium for four years for a fee of one million euros paid by Charleroi, including a percentage on resale for the club from the heights of Algiers on the next transfer of the 21-year-old midfielder.
Having started his youth football years at ES Setif, Adem Zorgane eventually joined the academy of Paradou AC, where he learned his trade alongside midfield teammate Hichem Boudaoui, before making his debut in the Algerian Ligue 1 during the 2017/2018 season. Within the Pacist formation, the young Algerian international will display his talent and his precocity to impose himself in four seasons as one of the rising values of Algerian football.
With 78 games played and 9 goals scored, his performances at club level have allowed him to be followed by many renowned European clubs, such as Red Bull Salzburg in 2018, but also to be regularly selected for the national youth teams from U18 to U23. This rise to prominence earned him the praise of senior national coach Djamel Belmadi, who decided to call him up for several of the Greens’ international gatherings over the past two years. The first time was at the November 2019 gathering, and the second at the March gathering. He has not been called up for the senior team, but he played in the middle of the park during the senior team’s 5-1 win over Liberia at the new Stade d’Oran.
By joining the Belgian club Charleroi, Adem Zorgane follows in the footsteps of two former players trained at the JMG – Paradou Academy, namely Ramy Bensebaini and Youcef Atal, who both had their first European experiences in Belgium with Lierse SK and KV Kortrijk respectively. The 21-year-old player could be inspired by his elders to have a similar career development to shine on the Old Continent and definitely convince the national coach to give him his first selection with the African champions.
