Algerian defender Youcef Atal has signed for Turkish club Adana Demirspor after receiving a suspended sentence in France last month for inciting religious hatred about the conflict in Gaza, his club Nice announced Friday. "Six months from the end of his contract, Youcef Atal leaves OGC Nice for Türkiye," Nice said in a statement. "The club wishes him good luck for the rest of his career." The 27-year-old right-back was handed an eight-month suspended sentence by a court in the Riviera city last month.
