Elias Benkara ready to turn the page and target Algeria

The future of Elias Benkara at Borussia Dortmund is hanging in the balance. The young 18-year-old defender, struggling to get playing time with the first team, is edging closer to a summer transfer in order to reignite his career.

According to WinWin, several European clubs have shown interest, including Eintracht Frankfurt, RSC Anderlecht, and Feyenoord Rotterdam. The player is prioritizing a sporting project that guarantees him more minutes on the pitch—an essential condition for taking the next step in his development.

Still according to WinWin, Elias Benkara also has a clear objective: to get closer to the Algerian national team and work his way back into Vladimir Petkovic's plans. It's a strategic career move, driven as much by ambition as by the need for regular playing time.
