Yacine Adli (born 29 July 2000) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Serie A club AC Milan.
Adli's parents are from the village of Tizra-Aissa ( Draâ El Mizan, Tizi Ouzou Province, Kabylia, Algeria).
Adli made his professional debut for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on 19 May 2018 in the final Ligue 1 match of the season against Caen. He replaced Christopher Nkunku after 83 minutes in a 0–0 away draw. [4] On 2 July 2018, Adli signed his first professional contract with PSG. [5]
On 31 January 2019, the last day of the 2018–19 winter transfer window, Adli joined league rivals Bordeaux on a 4+1⁄2-year contract. The transfer reportedly involved a fee of €5.5 million and a 40% sell-on clause. [6] [7]
Adli scored against his former side Paris Saint-Germain in a 2–2 draw at the Parc des Princes on 28 November 2020. [8]
On 31 August 2021, it was announced that Adli had signed for Serie A giants AC Milan on a five-year contract. [9] The fee paid to Bordeaux was a reported €8 million. [10] He was loaned back to the club for the remainder of the 2021–22 season. [9]
In his first season at Milan, Adli had very little playtime and made just six sporadic appearances throughout the entire season, all of which were as a substitute in the closing minutes of games. [11]
Despite these setbacks, however, he did not go to play elsewhere on loan, neither during the winter break, nor in the summer. [11]
Ahead of the 2023–24 season, as Milan's primary formation changed from 4–2–3–1 to 4–3–3, Adli started to play in front of the team's defense as a holding midfielder or a deep-lying playmaker, providing an alternative to Rade Krunić, who had been considered a starter in this position at the time. However, as Krunić departed in the winter, Adli took his place in the starting XI. [11]
Adli was born in France to Algerian parents of Kabyle origins. [12] He holds French and Algerian nationalities. [13] He is a youth international for France, and represented the France U17s at the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship [14] and the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup. [15]
