Il ne prolongera pas son séjour à Metz

This is information that was revealed this Thursday morning by the president of Metz (L1 Uber Eats): the Algerian playmaker Farid Boulaya refused to extend his contract with the Metz club. At the end of the lease next June, he is therefore free to commit wherever he wishes this winter.

Farid Boulaya seems to have covered the issue at Football Club de Metz, currently 18th and in a barrage position for the maintenance in Ligue 1 Uber Eats. The 28-year-old Algerian playmaker, at the Metz club since January 2018 and author of 3 goals and an assist in 11 league games this season, has in fact refused to extend his contract, which expires next June. It is the president of FC Metz Bernard Serin himself who confided it this Thursday morning, on the local radio France Bleu Lorraine Nord : “ He (Farid Boulaya) will not extend his stay in Metz. Discussions took place, but they were unsuccessful. There are no discussions at this time. “

Boulaya is free to get involved where he wants right now

Therefore, two options are available to the native of Vitrolles (France): leave this winter to allow his club to recover some money or wait until next summer to be free and thus be able to negotiate a signature. In any case, Boulaya therefore already has the possibility of engaging with another team for next season, as allowed by the regulations. Currently in the Algerian national team, with which he is preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations which begins this Sunday, the elegant right-hander does not seem destabilized by his contractual situation, far from it. Entering 20 minutes from the end, yesterday, during the preparation match against Ghana won 3-0 by the Greens, he was the author of a remarkable and noticed performance., by being involved in the last two goals of the EN (an inspired heel to launch Atal leading to a Ghanaian goal against his side and then an assist for Slimani).
