Hull City: Belloumi denies his father's statements!

Sep 22, 2026

Comments allegedly made by Lakhdar Belloumi regarding his son Bachir and his current club have sparked intense debate and led to a denial from the latter!

In an interview with the Qatari online media Winwin, the Algerian football legend reportedly stated that, with all due respect to Hull City, his son, given his current level, deserves to play for bigger clubs such as Real Madrid or Barça.

These remarks have been widely shared on social media and have provoked a reaction from supporters of the English club, who are having an excellent start to the season. Many Hull City fans have perceived this as an offense towards the words attributed to their player's father.

In response, representatives of Bachir Belloumi, the Classico MZI agency, felt it necessary to issue a formal denial statement.

“In response to the comments circulating and attributed to Mr. Lakhdar Belloumi, father of my client — Algerian international Bachir Belloumi —, I wish to clarify to the sporting public that these statements are unfounded and were not expressed by him in this manner.
What has been published on a website and attributed to the Algerian football legend Lakhdar Belloumi is completely false.
I confirm that my client holds great esteem and deep respect for his current club, Hull City, and is fully dedicated to his football career as well as his determination to give his best.
We encourage the media and sports sections to rigorously verify their sources before publishing or attributing statements.
