Yanis Messaoudi: The Rising Star Set to Sign His First Professional Contract with AC Milan

Young Algerian central defender Yanis Messaoudi is on the verge of a significant advancement in his budding career. He joined AC Milan last summer from Racing Club de France and is expected to sign his first professional contract with the club in the coming days. The 2009-born player has made six appearances and scored one goal in the Italian U17 league, quickly establishing himself as one of the most promising talents in the Milan academy.

Standing at 1.89 m, Messaoudi, who also holds a French passport, has caught the attention of the Algerian Football Federation, which has called him up for training sessions with the U17 team twice. The French national team has yet to scout him seriously. As an Algerian U17 international, Messaoudi continues to show steady progress each season, which has been noted in Milan and throughout Italy. His impending professional contract is a recognition of his strong performances and clear potential.
