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.
